Thanks to everyone who participated in the #EWIS workshop in Amsterdam, to the editors, and also to the reviewers for their critical but constructive suggestions on how to improve this piece.

The article is part of a special issue on party contestation of foreign policy, edited by @achryssogelos.bsky.social & Toby Greene, which emerged from an #EWIS workshop in Amsterdam in 2023.

This is complemented by what I see as a new form of vertical role contestation - between the regional and federal level, as it happened after the #BSW's electoral successes in regional elections in Brandenburg, Thuringia, and Saxony.

The third empirical section examines vertical role contestation such as open letter initiatives and public rallies for and against supporting Ukraine militarily.

The second empirical section draws on the analysis of 19 plenary debates and 30 motions that were related to the Russian war against Ukraine, highlighting evidence of horizontal role contestation between the parties.

The first empirical section examines the foreign policy preferences of the three parties before they entered the coalition and how they negotiated compromise in their coalition agreement.

Taken together, the article identifies considerable national role contestation below the surface of an apparent cross-party foreign policy consensus.

The latter relates to contestation within political parties, from the public, but alsoāas a novel form of vertical role contestationābetween the regional and federal level.

Specifically, the article provides evidence of both horizontal and vertical role contestation. The former takes place between government and opposition but also among the governing parties.

The article draws on recent work on role theory and party politics to examine the partisan contestation of German foreign policy role conceptions during the š¦traffic-light coaliton of SPD, Greens, and Liberals (2021-2024).

While the #Zeitenwende changes in German foreign and security policy have received a lot of attention, less emphasis has been placed on the domestic #contestation of Germany's foreign policy role.
