title: Germany's Return to European Leadership
abstract: After decades of high trust in institutionalized cooperation, in both NATO and the EU, Europe is waking up to the realization that institutions last only for as long as power is aligned in their support.This reality has come into focus following Britain's decision to exit from the EU, Trump's misgivings about NATO, and Putin's quite obvious desire to rattle both.For now the institutions endure, but unsettled power arrangements do question their longevity.
