If the aim of intelligence services is to enable decision makers to
take enlightened decisions, it might also be said that the
objective of Intelligence Studies is to enable the general public
to understand the intelligence process. For many years, however,
scholars in the field could not select their sources or record
footnotes, and, in Europe, intelligence service did their best to
control what the public was told when it came to intelligence and
security matters. Following 1989, this all changed. The Iron
curtain fell and citizens in Central and Eastern Europe forced open
the archives of the former intelligence and security services.
Gradually, even Western European countries followed suit. As a
consequence, Intelligence Studies in Europe experienced a new dawn.
The annual "Need to Know" conferences were founded in 2011 to
provide a platform in Europe for discussing foreign intelligence.
The researchers who have presented their results here, many of whom
are from Central and Eastern Europe, have made a critical
contribution to the field. This is the first publication
originating from the conference series and it gives the reader
insights into a range of topics: from the Abu Nidal Organization in
Poland and the Canadian embassy in Havana to Danish historiography
and the presence of Czechoslovak agents in London. This volume and
the "Need to know" conferences have embarked on a journey to better
understand intelligence and promote cooperation between
international Intelligence Studies scholars. Towards this end, it
represents an exciting first step.
