See “Arrogant Germans See Their Country as a World Power” and related links at The Atlantic Review, the fine news digest on German-U.S. relations published and edited by German Fulbright alumni. Excerpt: “The just released international Bertelsmann survey [PDF in German] indicates that Germans’ views of themselves as a world power increased from the 2005 study by 8 percent to 49 percent in 2007.” Also see “Germany To Play Larger Role In The World” at Berlin-based Observing Hermann.
