Ostpolitik(German: “Eastern Policy”) West German foreign policy begun in the late 1960s. Initiated by Willy Brandt as foreign minister and then chancellor, the policy was one of détente with Soviet-bloc countries, recognizing the East German government and expanding commercial relations with other Soviet-bloc countries. Treaties were concluded in 1970 with the Soviet Union, renouncing the use of force in their relations, and with Poland, recognizing Germany's 1945 losses east of the Oder-Neisse Line. The policy was continued by Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The wisdom of Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik, which opened the first fissures in the Soviet imperium, has been borne out by a string of developments: the Helsinki accords, the breaching of the Wall and reunification, the enlargement of the EU to include the former satellite states. Germany is the natural leader of the Eastern part, and indeed the word Ostpolitik, redolent of the divided Germany of Cold War days, became current again during the recent German presidency. Topics addressed include European integration, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization crisis of 1966-7 (when France pulled out of NATO's military command), the collapse of the Bretton Woods international monetary system, West Germany's Ostpolitik and German reunification, and post-Cold War issues. |
