Delegations from different parts of the world met for the first time in London in 1989. Since then, the reunions have taken place every second year, in The Hague (1992), Ottawa (1994), Rome (1996), Bonn (1998), Washington (2001), Canberra (2003), Paris (2005), Dublin (2007), The Hague (2009), Jerusalem (2011), Geneva (2013), Washington (2015) and London (2017). In 2019 the conference will take place in Berlin to mark the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. On October 3, 2013 at the Geneva Conference in the Palais des Nations the par- ticipants decided to institutionalise the international network which lead to the foundation of the International Committee of Editors of Diplomatic Documents ICEDD. Article 2 of the Charter states the objective of the organisation: «The In- ternational Committee shall bring together scholars with a common interest in the editing of contemporary diplomatic documents, enabling them to engage in a wider discussion and investigate common concerns, concepts, problems and methodologies over a diverse range of historical and historiographical areas.» In order to strengthen the scholarly efforts and promote exchanges with the worldwide community of historians, ICEDD was accepted in 2017 as an Affiliated International Organisation of the International Committee of Historical Sciences ICHS/CISH. The 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall offered the opportunity to fruitfully use the worldwide network of the ICEDD members to launch a truly international collaboration to edit a selection of documents on the perceptions of the fall of the Berlin Wall from a number of different archives. We are thrilled to say that colleagues from eleven countries (Austria, Canada, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States) have accepted the invitation to participate. Their collective efforts are now being presented in this publication. The documents are accessible online as facsimiles in their original languages in the database Dodis. An English trans- lation is provided in this publication as well as online. Leading in this collabora- tive project has been the research centre Diplomatic Documents of Switzerland (Dodis), which opened their resources and infrastructure to support this project. The editorial work was taken on by Marc Dierikx (The Netherlands) and Sacha Zala (Switzerland), supported by Franziska Ruchti (Switzerland). The Institut für Zeitgeschichte (München–Berlin) contributed financially to the publication of this book. To all of them goes a heartfelt thank you for their support. When the Wall Came Down 8 May this first truly multinational cooperation enhance the importance of the In- ternational Committee of Editors of Diplomatic Documents’ work and lead to fur- ther international exchanges and cooperative endeavors. International Committee of Editors of Diplomatic Documents (ICEDD) Dr. Ilse Dorothee Pautsch Prof. Dr. Sacha Zala President Secretary General 9 Editorial Remarks This volume of the Quaderni di Dodis is the result of an international cooperation under the auspices of the International Committee of Editors of Diplomatic Documents (ICEDD). Editors and archivists from eleven countries – Austria, Canada, Ger- many, Israel, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States – agreed to take part to this project and submitted a selection of documents on their respective countries’ perceptions of the fall of the Berlin Wall and German Reunification. For the purposes of this publication documents in languages other than English have been translated by the national editors. The documents are also available in their original languages as facsimiles in the freely accessible online database Dodis www.dodis.ch. In this volume the documents are presented in a strictly chronological order. A table presents a brief summary of each document to facilitate its use. In general, the documents are published in their entirety. However, some documents contain passages unrelated to the focus of this volume and have therefore been left out by the national editors. These passages are always marked with […] in the print version but the facsimile of the entire document can be consulted in the Dodis database in its original language. In the footnotes editorial remarks are in italics, while quotes are in roman type. Within the text of a document, italics are used to indicate highlights in the original (e.g. underlining, etc.). Interventions made by the editors are in square brackets and in italics. Obvious spelling and punctuation mistakes have been corrected without indication, errors are commented on in a footnote. Additionally, the style of telegrams and telexes (e.g. capitalisation, the use of abbreviations, etc.) has been normalised in order to render them more reader friendly. The heading for each document contains an editorial title, the classification and the urgency of that record (e.g. secret, urgent, etc.), the date and place of origin, as well as the permalink (e.g. dodis.ch/53170) pointing to the document’s digital facsimile, the metadata and further linked digital resources. The original title of a document (non English titles have been translated) is in SMALL CAPS. The first foot- note contains the type of the source, the archival reference and further relevant information. In the footnotes, further information about other documents and the people mentioned in the document can be found. Wherever possible, a link to the online database Dodis is provided (e.g. dodis.ch/P31852), where the reader will find additional information. The realisation of this volume would not have been possible without the magnificent efforts of the team at the research centre Diplomatic Documents of Switzerland (Dodis) and the financial support of the Institut für Zeitgeschichte When the Wall Came Down 10 (München–Berlin). Last but not least, our heartfelt thanks go to our international colleagues. Without their hard work and support this pioneering and truly inter- national publication would not have been possible. Marc Dierikx and Sacha Zala 11 From Two Germanies to One: An Introduction Four years after the end of hostilities in 1945, two new German states emerged from the rubble of the Third Reich and the developing Cold War. On 23 May 1949 the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) was founded

  • Internal British Debates in the Late 1980S on Germany's Potential
    Internal British Debates in the Late 1980s on Germany’s Potential Reunification 225 Chapter 8 “Say One Thing and Think Another:” Internal British Debates in the Late 1980s on Germany’s Potential Reunification Liviu Horovitz During the 1980s, no one within the British government welcomed Germany’s probable and irresistible reunification. On this very issue, “we have to say one thing and think another,” Charles Powell, the prin- cipal foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, not- ed already in 1984.1 He articulated what many within the UK’s chan- celleries wrote in various memos, reports, and summaries of discussions throughout the decade. The Cold War status quo suited the United Kingdom well, but Brit- ish officials concluded it was unsustainable. Soviet power was slowly waning. Without this constraint, the Germans were bound to seek to live together. British planners believed that the Americans, slowly moving away from Europe, were going to become less invested on the continent. Hence, the most likely outcome was a less constrained Ger- man state at the center of Europe. Britain’s interests would be harmed, and London’s leverage to avert such result would be limited. A major- ity argued that novel, creative, or radical policy solutions were need- ed. And yet, as newly declassified documents attest, UK policymakers concluded that others would pull Britain’s chestnuts out of the fire. Many claimed that France would oppose German reunification. Most important, however, was the mainstream view: the Soviet Union, in spite of its worsening situation, would once again let its tanks roll into Eastern European capitals rather than see Germany unified.

    The Aspen Institute Germany ANNUAL REPORT 2007 2008 The Aspen Institute 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 2008 The Aspen Institute ANNUAL REPORT 2007 3 2008 Dear Friend of the Aspen Institute In the following pages you will find a report on the Aspen Institute Germany’s activities for the years 2007 and 2008. As you may know, the Aspen Institute Germany is a non-partisan, privately supported organization dedicated to values-based leadership in addressing the toughest policy challenges of the day. As you will see from the reports on the Aspen European Strategy Forum, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and the Balkans that follow, a significant part of Aspen’s current work is devoted to promoting dialogue between key stakeholders on the most important strategic issues and to building lasting ties and constructive exchanges between leaders in North America, Europe and the Near East. The reports on the various events that Aspen convened in 2007 and 2008 show how Aspen achieves this: by bringing together interdisciplinary groups of decision makers and experts from business, academia, politics and the arts that might otherwise not meet. These groups are convened in small-scale conferences, seminars and discussion groups to consider complex issues in depth, in the spirit of neutrality and open mindedness needed for a genuine search for common ground and viable solutions. The Aspen Institute organizes a program on leadership development. In the course of 2007 and 2008, this program brought leaders from Germany, Lebanon, the Balkans and the United States of America together to explore the importance of values-based leadership together with one another.
