Learning Objectives

The course prepares one to recognise the historiographical significance of Western intelligence policies towards African and Middle Eastern areas within a world history perspective (both within the framework of colonial policies and in later historical phases). This historiographical perspective (in terms of sources and academic research) has been defined as the 'missing dimension' in historiography for a world history that includes the history of the Middle East and Africa, but also for the history of the European (and other) nation-states themselves directly involved in those regional theatres and in the same intelligence policies.

Program

Global history and intelligence sources for the contemporary history of Afro-Asian areas (course II).

The study of intelligence policies (both within the framework of colonial policies and in later historical phases) has been defined as the 'missing dimension' in historiography for the history of the Middle East, Africa, as well as of the nation-states themselves - European, and not only - directly involved in those regional theatres and in the same intelligence policies. Above all, covert political action and clandestine diplomacy have played a key role in various historical phases and have conditioned processes of great importance, even recent ones. However, the structuring of an essentially 'colonial' and then 'post-colonial' approach to these regional areas, in historiography, made integrating historiographic contributions from the two different levels extremely complex: the official level of national histories and diplomatic and international history, on the one hand, and the level of the 'missing dimension', on the other.

By reviewing some case studies in Africa and the Middle East, the module examines the use of sources on intelligence policy from a global history perspective.
