Germany's European policy is not only a direct reflection of the choice of the German government on European affairs strategy and attitude,but also embodies the fundamental national interests of Germany and became the basic pillar of German foreign policy.After the reunification of Germany,in the face of the end of the Cold War,international and domestic political structure of the great changes took place,has not changed its previous policy of Europe,but remains committed to promoting the development of European integration,which reflects the national identity after the reunification of Germany Europe in a strong color.From the post-war German reunification half a century,Germany has been formed in Europe more beliefs and values that Germany's European identity,such as the euro replaced the European "stability anchor" of the mark and actively promote the implementation "the European Constitutional Treaty " and so on,which are derived from the Germany's European identity. The reason is that Germany's European identity has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Germans,German have more to represent the interests of Europe as a vector and tools more than any other European countries.After the reunification of Germany's European identity is a key factor that tireless efforts to advance the cause of European integration and essential for European policy to ensure continuity.Therefore,as a research and interpretation of Germany as a research an important means of European policy,highlights the recognition of Germany's European policies to deal with a major impact in Europe.The main purpose of writing this article is to analyze the unified Germany in Europe is how to identify the impact of Germany's European policy,as well as the impact of Germany's European identity factors.The article focused on the introduction of the recognition of Germany's national identity, the European identity,Germany's European identity on the theory and analysis,as the article to start discussion and to lay the theoretical foundation.The first part to prove from the following six aspects of the European unified Germany's European identity to promote the development of European integration:(1) the German policy of maintaining the continuity of Europe;(2) the German national and the EU to actively promote the reform of institutions;(3) Germany actively promote the European Economic and Monetary Union;(4) Germany actively participate the formulation and implementation of "the European Constitutional Treaty";(5) Germany actively participate the policy of European common foreign and security and Defense;(6) Germany uphold multilateralism and Germany's foreign policy.The second part,the author mainly analyze the impact of factors recognized by Germany's European identity.Germany's European identity in the area of Europe's most realistic question is:What is the influence of Germany's European identity.Germany's European identity will be subject to a wide range of factors,both factors have the concept of material factor;factor in both government and social factors.These factors affect the identity of Europe in Germany,which affected the choice of its European policy.The third part discusses the post-reunification Germany,the impact of the European identity and enlightenment.After the reunification of Germany's European identity has actively played an important role in the European integration,Germany's European identity become Germany's European policy guidelines;on the one hand,after the reunification of Germany on the European reflection of a clear-cut recognition of multilateralism and the anti-the characteristics of militarism,which has become characteristic of German European policy when dealing with the guiding principles and programmatic,but how to make use of and coordination of the relationship between the two would be more difficult in practice a real problem,if not it will be coordinated Germany's European policy on the credibility of the negative impact.Germany's national identity to European identity also had some negative impact.This is mainly reflected in the globalization and European integration,Germany's national interests are affected to a certain extent,some part of government officials and the public and to European integration had a negative attitude and the extreme right-wing forces to incite the people took the opportunity to xenophobia.On the other hand,we should focus on Germany's European identity on the Enlightenment of the East Asian identity.At present,the East Asian geopolitical mutually colors,the dominant culture in East Asia mainly Lockerbie culture,and even traces of Hobbesian culture. Integration in East Asia has just started,the current is still faced with many difficulties and the establishment of East Asian identity is still an urgent task.It should establish East Asian identity from easy to difficulty,which put it on Government's agenda,we should create a good social atmosphere from the government to social,not just for short-term economic benefits.
