Penelitian ini mendalami satu pertanyaan penelitian, yaitu bagaimana pengaruh Jerman dalam pembentukan arsitektur keamanan regional Eropa pada periode Pasca Perang Dingin? Pembahasan ini difokuskan pada tiga hal, yaitu mendalami (1)arsitektur keamanan regional Eropa dari periode Perang Dingin ke Pasca Perang Dingin, (2)evolusi kebijakan keamanan Jerman dari periode Perang Dingin ke Pasca Perang Dingin, dan (3)pengaruh Jerman terhadap pembentukan arsitektur keamanan regional Eropa pada periode Pasca Perang Dingin. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analitik-deskriptif. Sedangkan, teknik pengumpulan data didasarkan pada wawancara sebagai data primernya dan telaah pustaka sebagai data sekundernya. Penelitian ini menggunakan 3 teori utama sebagai acuan analisisnya, yaitu: (1)teori regional powers and security orders untuk mengidentifikasi, manajemen dan pencegahan ancaman keamanan regional yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh peran regional powers dan memudahkan telaah aktor berpengaruh dalam pembentukan arsitektur keamanan Eropa, (2)teori foreign policy strategies untuk menelaah cara melaksanakan power di level regional melalui penggunaan institusi kawasan Eropa atau melalui negara anggota kawasan Eropa, dan (3)teori regional security complex untuk melihat hasil pelaksanaan power di kawasan Eropa dimana kompleksitas keamanan regional Eropa dibangun menurut pola hubungan dalam bentuk persaingan (enmity), kerjasama (amity), dan atau perpaduan dari keduanya. Hasil penelitian menujukkan Jerman merupakan negara yang memiliki pengaruh kuat dalam pembentukan arsitektur keamanan regional di Eropa pada periode Pasca Perang Dingin. Ini didukung oleh efektifitas pelaksaaan kebijakan luar negeri strategis Jerman dalam mempengaruhi perilaku negara-negara dan institusi-institusi kawasan baik secara struktural maupun relasional untuk menjaga dan memelihara keamanan kawasan Eropa. Jerman menunjukkan kemampuannya dalam 5 tahap, yaitu: (1)menjalankan fungsi regional powers dan perimbangan kekuasaan di Eropa: rivalitas The Big Three of Europe dan konfigurasi power di Eropa, (2)menjalankan fungsi regional power di Eropa dengan memainkan posisi sebagai kekuatan ekonomi, militer, sentral geopolitik Eropa, dan sebagai arsitek keamanan di Eropa; (3)memperkuat Eropa sebagai Vibrant Continent dengan memposisikan UE sebagai konsentris institusional pertama bagi proyeksi kebijakan luar negeri Jerman, memperkuat struktur Segitiga Kelembagaan UE, integrasi, dan kerjasama institusional UE; (4)memperkuat institusi UE sebagai Constructive of European Security dengan mendorong penguatan pelaksanaan Politik Luar Negeri dan Politik Keamanan Bersama (PLNKB) UE, mendorong kemandirian Eropa dalam bidang pertahanan dan keamanan, mengurangi dominasi AS di NATO dan di Eropa, dan mendorong UE menjadi anggota tetap DK PBB; dan ke (5)memperkuat NATO sebagai Complement of European Security melalui menjaga dan memelihara posisi Jerman sebagai regional power di Eropa dan proyeksinya di NATO, memperkuat hubungan Jerman-Prancis dan Inggris sebagai The Big Three of Europe di NATO dan di Eropa, menjaga dan mengimbangi pola hubungan dengan AS di NATO, dan menjaga pola hubungan dengan Rusia di luar NATO di Eropa.

The main focus of this study is to analyze how the influence of Germany in the shaping of regional security architecture of Europe in the post-Cold War? This discussion focused on three issues, namely to explore (1)the regional security architecture of Europe in the period Cold War to the Post-Cold War, (2)the evolution of Germany security policy in the period Cold War to post-Cold War, and (3)the influence of Germany in the shaping of regional security architecture of Europe in the period Post-Cold War. The analytical method used is the analytic-descriptive. Meanwhile, data collection techniques is used based on interviews as the primary data, and review of literature as the secondary data. This study used three main theories as a reference for analysis, namely: (1)the theory of regional powers and security orders to analyze the identification, management and prevention of the regional security threats that heavily influenced by the role of regional powers and to determine the influential actors in the shaping of the European security architecture, (2)the theory of foreign policy strategies to examine how to carry out power at the regional level through the use of institutional or through the states of Europe, and (3)the theory of regional security complex to analyze the results of the implementation of power in the regional of Europe where the complexity of European regional security constructed according to the pattern of relationships in the form of competition (enmity), cooperation (amity), or a combination of both. The results showed that Germany has a strong influence in the shaping of the regional security architecture in Europe in the post-Cold War. This is supported by the effectiveness of the implementation of Germany's 'foreign policy strategic' in influencing the behavior of states and regional institutions both structural and relational to preserve and to maintain the regional security of Europe. Germany showed its ability in five stages, namely: (1)performing the function of the regional powers and the balance of power in Europe: toward the rivalry of The Big Three of Europe and the configuration of power in Europe, (2)performing the function of regional power in Europe by playing position as an biggest of economic power, military effectiveness, geopolitical central in Europe, and as the architect of security in Europe; (3)strengthening Europe as Vibrant Continent by positioning the EU as the first institutional concentric projections of Germany foreign policy, strengthening the EU Institutional structure, and strengthening the integration and institutional cooperation of the EU; (4)strengthening EU as Constructive of European Security by boosting the implementation of Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the EU, encouraging independence of Europe in the field of defense and security, reducing the dominance of the US in NATO and in Europe, and encouraging EU to be a permanent member of the UN Security Council; and (5)strengthening NATO as Complement of European Security by protecting and maintaining Germany's position as a regional power in Europe and the projections in NATO, strengthening the relations of Germany-France and UK as The Big Three of Europe in NATO and in Europe, maintaining and balancing the relations with the US in NATO, and maintaining the relations with Russia outside NATO in Europe.
