Guest article by Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge - Germany's Security Policy of the Future: Integration and Responsibility in the National Security Council Guest article by Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge - Germany's Security Policy of the Future

The global security order is increasingly unstable, and Germany as well as Europe need to strengthen their foreign and security policy capabilities. In this context, the creation of a National Security Council is being discussed as a central measure to improve coordination between the various security-related sectors and to develop a coherent security strategy.

The guest article by Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge and Julia Leininger argues that such a council could help Germany better connect its military, civilian, and development policy measures. The authors particularly emphasize Germany's role as a civilian power, strong in international crisis prevention and peacebuilding. However, they caution against weakening civilian development efforts in favor of geopolitical interests, as this could jeopardize long-term stability. A National Security Council could contribute to integrating these different dimensions without sacrificing Germany's strengths in sustainable development.
