Die sicherheitspolitische Community in Deutschland

<p>German politicians and people working in the media often mention the so-called security community when referring to experts working in the field of security politics. The term is not defined, however. The security community is not systematically researched. Who are the main actors of German security policy? What are their backgrounds, functions and activities? This thesis identifies a broad security landscape and a well-connected network of political, academic and social leaders. Based on extensive empirical data, expert interviews and case studies the thesis closes a research gap. It offers many practical and fundamental results for professionals and points out questions for further research about the security community in Germany.</p>
