ABSTRACT

After 1967, West Germany started to develop its own ‘Arab policy’. Its initial focus was not the Arab peninsula, but North Africa, particularly Algeria and Libya. The main reasons were what Bonn perceived to be strategic necessity in the face of a Soviet advance there and convenience, as the North African states seemed more open to West German overtures in the late 1960s. But Bonn’s strategy failed. By 1973 it re-calibrated its policy towards the Arab peninsula. Overall, this West German ‘Mediterranean moment’ illustrates how this ‘Arab policy’ was motivated by the dynamics of the Cold War in Central Europe.

冷战,阿拉伯世界和西德的“地中海时刻”,1967-73年

摘要

1967年后,西德开始制定自己的“阿拉伯政策”。它最初的关注点不是阿拉伯半岛,而是北非,尤其是阿尔及利亚和利比亚。主要原因是波恩在苏联苏维埃的进步和便利面前被认为是战略上的必要条件,因为北非国家在1960年代后期似乎更愿意接受西德的提议。但是波恩的策略失败了。到1973年,它重新调整了对阿拉伯半岛的政策。总体而言,西德的“地中海时刻”说明了这种“阿拉伯政策”是如何受到中欧冷战的推动而产生的。
