Hans Kundnani, editorial director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, recently argued in the Washington Quarterly that “Germany’s economy is too big for any of its neighbours, such as France, to challenge…but not big enough for Germany to exercise hegemony.” This, he concluded, is an economic statement of the “German question” that tormented Europe for 75 years after German unification in 1871.
