    Abstract

    [From the Introduction]. This paper will explore the relative weights of EC influence, on the one hand, and domestic pressure on the other on the events leading to Germany's recognition of Croatia and Slovenia in December 1991--and the EC's recognition of these countries in January 1992. Did the push for recognition, against the preferences of Britain, France, and the United States, signal Germany's intention to pursue unilateral policies, as was popularly asserted at the time? Was that push driven by domestic pressures and perceptions of national security requirements separate from those hammered out in the European Community? Or, did Germany's position and the strategy Genscher pursued simply signal Germany's first awkward steps toward asserting a leadership role in the Community on foreign policy issues?
