格哈德·施罗德  

德国前总理

  两次当选德国领导人的格哈德施罗德总理在近十年的时间里是世界政治舞台上的主要力量。施罗德总理的魅力力量和无与伦比的洞察力众所周知，是世界领先的政治家，也是国际公认的全球关系，经济发展和社会变革的权威。

  格哈德施罗德是新一代充满活力的德国领导人中的第一位。他接管了刚刚重新统一的德国，并勇敢地将世界第三大经济体推向了21世纪。

  格哈德施罗德是一位具有超凡魅力的强大的国家人物，1998年当选总理。在他任职的七年中，格哈德施罗德为实现德国经济现代化做出的贡献远超过几十年来的成就。2002年连任，施罗德总理不仅在全球问题上采取强硬立场，而且将德国军队派往世界各地的热点地区，从而提高了德国在全球层面的影响力。将德国军队派往世界各地是一个非常大胆的行为，需要改变德国的宪法。

  与此同时，施罗德总理正在为他的政治生涯奠定基础。他于1963年加入社会民主党，并于1978年成为该党青年组织的联邦主席。从那里到国民议会就很简单了。他1980年首次被选上。

  一家德国报纸称他是自威利勃兰特以来最具魅力的德国政治家。格哈德施罗德年轻而乐观，是笨拙的德国联邦议院中的新鲜空气。

  很快施罗德总理专注于下萨克森州。他的家就在下萨克森州，下萨克森州也是德国最大的联邦州。 1996年他迅速成为该州的总理。 1998年他参加全国大选，获得了巨大的胜利，成为德国总理。

The twice-elected leader of Germany, Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has been a major force on the world’s political stage for nearly a decade. Known for his charismatic delivery and unparalleled insights, Chancellor Schröder is a leading world statesman and internationally recognized authority on global relations, economic development and social change.

Gerhard Schröder is the first of a new generation of vibrant German leaders. He took on the newly reunited Germany and boldy ushered the world’s third largest economy into the 21st century.

A charismatic and powerful national figure, Gerhard Schröder was elected Chancellor in 1998. In his seven years in office, Gerhard Schröder did more to modernize Germany’s economy than had been accomplished in decades. Elected to a second term in 2002, Chancellor Schröder increased his country’s influence on a global level by not only taking strong stands on global issues, but also sending German troops to hotspots around the world; this was an enormously bold act that required changing Germany´s Constitution.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Schröder was laying the groundwork for a career in politics. He joined the Social Democrats in 1963, and in 1978 became the federal chairman of the party´s Youth Organization. From there it was a short trip to the National Parliament, to which he was first elected in 1980.

Hailed by one German newspaper as the most charismatic German politician since Willy Brandt, Gerhard Schröder was young and optimistic, a breath of fresh air in the stodgy German Bundestag.

Moving swiftly on, Chancellor Schröder focused on Lower Saxony, his home and Germany´s largest federal state, in 1986 and quickly became the State´s Prime Minister. In 1998, he stood for national election and a tremendous victory catapulted him into the Chancellor´s seat.
