Das Austrian Center for Intelligence, Propaganda and Security Studies lud zur 21. Arbeitstagung

„NSA, BND, UDBA – who’s watching who?“ lautete das Motto der 21. Arbeitstagung des Austrian Center for Intelligence, Propaganda and Security Studies (ACIPSS) am 12. Juni 2015 an der Uni Graz. Auf dem Programm standen Vorträge über Forschungen zu historischen und aktuellen Themen rund um Spionage und nachrichtendienstliche Aktivitäten. Der Bogen spannte sich von den Kärntner Slowenen und dem jugoslawischen Nachrichtendienst UDBA über die CIA und das Ende des Kalten Krieges bis zur Industriespionage aus völkerrechtlicher Perspektive, weiter zur NS-Plakatkunst bis hin zu den österreichischen Behörden und den Aktivitäten der tschechoslowakischen Nachrichtendienste im Kalten Krieg.

Das ACIPSS, das am Institut für Geschiche der Uni Graz angesiedelt ist, widmet sich der Erforschung, Untersuchung und Analyse der Bereiche Nachrichtendienste, Propaganda und Sicherheit.
