This volume examines discussions surrounding the legitimacy of the Bundeswehr's deployments abroad by looking at 2,773 newspaper texts. The study analyzes the use and mentions of prototypical arguments and characterizes their discursive actors. It sketches the trajectory taken by discourse between 1990 and 2015, describing both socially accepted and contentious knowledge in a subject area that has mostly been overlooked by linguistics so far.
