ABSTRACT

The military aspects of Helmut Schmidt’s policy have been examined in depth. This article argues that Schmidt’s diplomacy went beyond deterrence. His Ostpolitik statecraft was aimed at the establishment of sustainable structures of cooperative security in East-West relations. It facilitated the strategic energy partnership between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Soviet Union. Schmidt’s economic détente outlasted the crisis of US-Soviet relations. The construction of the largest pipeline for the transport of natural gas from the Soviet Union to Western Europe in the first half of the 1980s (Urengoy–Pomary–Uzhgorod) helped to keep détente alive in times of crisis.

摘要

赫尔穆特·施密特（Helmut Schmidt）政策的军事方面已得到深入研究。本文认为，施密特的外交超越了威慑力。他的Ostpolitik治国方略旨在建立东西方关系中可持续的合作安全结构。它促进了德意志联邦共和国和苏联之间的战略能源伙伴关系。施密特的经济缓和战胜了美苏关系危机。1980年代上半年，建设了从苏联到西欧的最大天然气运输管道（Urengoy–Pomary–Uzhgorod），在危机时期保持缓和状态。
