WiSe 19/20: Intelligence Agencies and International Relations
Sophia Hoffmann
Comments
This seminar considers intelligence agencies as an element of world politics. From this perspective, we will look at the historical origins of modern intelligence agencies and study a number of different examples. Students will be introduced to intelligence studies as an academic field, including different theoretical and methodological debates. The question of how intelligence agencies are controlled and governed, how they function internally and as part of a governmental system, will be addressed. Consideration will be given to the role of domestic political monitoring within both democratic and authoritarian states. In short, this seminar addresses and queries the role and function of intelligence agencies in relation to modern statehood and modern international relations.
Credits can only be awarded to OSI-registered students (including OSI-registered Erasmus students).
Achtung: No sessions on 19th November. Instead there will be a double session on 12th November.
