Niemcy są mistrzami świata w dobrym wizerunku!

Swiatowa ankieta brytyjskiej BBC z listopada wykazała, ze Niemcy za granica maja znakomita reputacje. 56 procent wszystkich ankietowanych twierdziło, ze maja pozytywny obraz o Niemcach. Zaden inny kraj nie miał takiej wysokiej pozycji.

Ankieta została przeprowadzona wśród 17.000 ludzi w 34 krajach. Ankietowano zostało 22 krajów.

Germany’s global image is the most positive of all countries evaluated in this survey. In 20 of the 22 tracking countries the most common view is that Germany’s influence in the world is “mainly positive,” while two countries view its influence as mainly negative. On average across all countries, a majority (56%) has a positive view of Germany’s influence in the world, while just 18 per cent have a negative view.

The most widespread positive views of Germany can be found among its European neighbours, including very large majorities in Italy (82%), Spain (77%), Portugal (76%), and France (74%). Significant numbers in Great Britain (62%) and Russia (61%) also have favourable views of Germany.

Among the countries in the Middle East, two have predominantly negative views of Germany: Turkey (47% negative, 37% positive) and Egypt (43% negative, 36% positive). However, majorities see Germany’s influence as positive in Lebanon (65%) and the UAE (51%).

People in the Asia-Pacific region also tend to view Germany positively. Favourable views are quite widespread among Australians (71%) and South Koreans (71%), along with the Chinese (58%). Views of Germany tend to be positive among pluralities in Indonesia (48%), Japan (45%), and the Philippines (44%). Indians also lean towards seeing Germany’s influence favourably (19% positive, 14% negative), though many are unable to offer an opinion.

Views of Germany are quite favourable among the African publics polled—majorities in Kenya (73%), Nigeria (66%), and Ghana (59%) see Germany’s influence as positive.

Opinion of Germany in Latin America tends to be more mildly favourable. While a majority in Chile (53%) gives a positive rating, more modest pluralities are found in Brazil (44%), Mexico (43%), Central American countries (40%), and Argentina (28%).
