Universities and the academic world played a key role in waging World War Two and the Cold War. This went far beyond the research in natural sciences and technology. In so called ‘enemy studies’, historians, sociologists, literary scholars and economists, sought to study the other side, sometimes working closely together with secret services. Our seminar will discuss their role and development, as well as the strategies behind these programs. Who was chosen? What was studied? How was information gained and knowledge implemented?
