Germany’s international and European policy environment is changing drastically. This necessitates a reorientation of Germany’s European policy. The European Union (EU) is becoming increasingly important for Germany as a powerful community of action and should be further developed into an economic and security life insurance policy for Germany and the EU’s other member states. In the coalition agreement between the CDU / CSU and the SPD, the new governing parties are claiming a prag­matic leadership role for Germany in European policy. To realise this ambition and advance key policies that are crucial for European self-determination, the new gov­ernment should provide leadership that is marked by enhanced European policy coordination, grounded in an expanded partnership strategy, and aimed at strengthen­ing the Union’s overall capacity to act.

With the reconfiguration of international supply chains, Mexico has gained impor­tance as a location for new foreign investments. The country has been able to benefit from nearshoring, that is, the relocation of services or production processes closer to consumer markets. This is associated with lower logistics costs and often better manage­ment of supplier relationships. However, this boom in investments has abated due to various uncertainties – not least being Washington’s threats to raise tariffs, which burdens the economic prospects associated with nearshoring. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is attempting to counter this trend, but in view of the increasingly urgent demand by the United States for third countries to adopt an anti-Chinese course, Mexico is at risk of being caught in the trap of “security-shoring” and losing its autonomous room for manoeuvre. This is already forcing Mexico – as well as its economic partners who have invested there – to realign their production processes.
