The focus section of this number is dedicated to the image of Germany and the Germans in other countries worldwide; assembled under the heading "Germany from outside", international contributors report their experiences and impressions, often in a very personal way.

Of special interest in the remaining magazine are the expectations of five stakeholder institutions regarding the German foreign policy of the new government.

Some articles are accessible online on the website of the editor, the German Institut für Auslandbeziehungen, together with further information sources, at this external link.
