Government Of Angela Merkel's "values ​​diplomacy" From The Transformation Of German Intellectual History

This paper is written according to the sequence of historical development,combined with the definition of the values and the interpretation and the practice by Merkel Government. I summarize the most influential and representative values at the social and historical background by time-sequence in this paper. Besides, In Germany (early to Prussia), the dominant values are not only intellectual creation but also according to their interests and the ruling class to make the choice. The formation of such values is specific and historical, Merkel government's "values" is no exception, it is an inheritance of traditional culture selectivity: the medieval religious values inherited the universal tradition, the modern capitalist democracy, freedom, human rights, values, and reflect The characteristics of social market model for the origin. And set aside the corresponding period in Prussia (Germany), dominated by the unique Prussian spirit. In the process of explanation, Western-centrism emphasis on early Germanic tribes characteristics of racial superiority , fictional Middle Ages, elegant and noble , to promote the unique Prussia (Germany) spirit , Diplomacy in the form of implementation of the "social market model" and capitalist freedom and human rights. And its "values diplomacy" is also the reality of the situation on the current balance at home and abroad, the fundamental purpose is to maintain and expand the national interest. In accordance with the sequence of historical development, this can be divided into several parts as follows:⑴Early character record the race and tribe characteristic of Germany. There were no particular advantages for Germanic tribes. Because Western racism was popular in later times. This superiority has become the cornerstone of the theory and practice for German intellectuals and the ruling class, such as post-Romantic, Hitler and so on. Although many theories and practice which has been rejected by Germany, but they still demonstrated by a new form today: They place itself in high morality status, its outstanding performance is to compel other countries to reform according to its own model, such as the implementation of the Values Diplomacy .⑵The middle ages mainly revolve the cooperation and battle by the royal power and the church power in Germany. This is also the gradual process for German to be Christian. The preliminary royal power is powerful (compares with power of church) and united the church for the battle and the rule, With the power of the church's growth, which exposed by various of features in the Inquisition, the Crusades and other events and later to the process of European colonial heritage, and be promoted on the name of Western-centrism in social science .⑶Capitalism values were born in the transformation to modern times. Merkel government's "values" theory and symbol were mainly based on these values .The Church has been very corrupt to 14-15 centuries. Luther's Reformation and the Peasant Uprising led by Min reflect different values; Lutheranism had been established and has influence until now. German was still separated between 17 to the early 19th century; But Germany's initiation thought achieved the great achievement. Since the 19th century, mainly formed by the early Kant, Lessing, later Goethe, Schiller, as the representative of capitalist democracy, peace and tradition, but the rise of Prussia and unified Germany, making the pursuit of militarism, extreme nationalism and other unique "Prussian spirit" dominated, and to promote the German participation in world hegemony, the two world wars have ended in failure.⑷After World War II, the unique symbol of the German spirit of Prussia as an entity to be separated, militarism was excluded, nationalism mentioned little, Federal Republic of Germany success of society market model and the value request. (Federal Republic of Germany) in accordance with the requirements of the United States of non-Nazi and democratic reform??But the German nation through its own efforts, establish the capitalism free democratic idea in the tradition, the economy develops in high speed, create a society market model successfully. Germany became a political power once again after German reunification; Merkel government's values diplomacy came into being. It took the capitalism free democratic idea and the society market pattern as the banner, also has its cultural tradition, it based on the German national interest and the international situation.
