Resumo

 Desde a derrota do III Reich na II Guerra Mundial, a história da Alemanha é marcada por uma atitude de grande empenhamento na integração europeia, que a transformou desde os inícios do processo que conduziria à actual União Europeia na principal “locomotiva” da unidade europeia. Neste ensaio, centrado no estudo das respostas da Alemanha à crise da Zona Euro, procura-se, ultrapassando o plano superficial e fenoménico, identificar as três metamorfoses políticas da história alemã desde 1945, bem como as mudanças na representação da Europa e do seu futuro que as diferentes doutrinas económicas, ainda em disputa, significam.
