Conference on ‘Intelligence, Diplomacy and International Relations’

International Intelligence History Association
10-12 May 2019
Germany Spy Museum, Berlin, Germany

Over the past century, Berlin has often been known as the ‘Capital of espionage’. From Imperial Germany and the First World War, through the Third Reich and the Second World War, to the GDR, Soviet Russia, the Cold war and its aftermath, Berlin featured a prominent role in European, and indeed global, intelligence activities. Numerous intelligence services were present in Berlin, openly or covertly, and conducted a very wide range of activities in and around the city. Many of these are featured in the Berlin Spy Museum, the perfect location for the Association’s 25th anniversary conference.

The conference theme is intentionally broad, both in terms of the periods covered and of the focus of papers. This will provide a wide discussion and a variety of themes relating to intelligence and its various facets. We welcome paper proposals on every issue relating to the conference theme, with special emphasis on:

• Intelligence and Diplomacy as complementary crucial aspects of international relations
• Berlin as a longtime center for intelligence and diplomacy
• Intelligence operations in or relating to Berlin and/or Germany

We wish to dedicate at least one panel to papers dealing with questions on intelligence, security and diplomacy related to Berlin, but also welcome papers which focus on other areas in Germany, Europe and beyond. While the 20th and 21th centuries mark the focus of the conference, papers dealing with intelligence, diplomacy and international relations in early modern period and before are mostly welcome. Also, we especially encourage paper proposals from young researchers and doctoral students, as well as from established scholars and former practitioners. Conference presenters are invited to submit their revised paper in form of an article to the Association’s Journal of Intelligence History.

Please submit your paper proposal abstract of 200-300 words and your detailed CV by email to Executive Director Anna Abelmann (exec_director@intelligence-history.org) by 10 January 2019.
