National interests and the power of ‘language’: West German diplomacy and the conference on security and cooperation in Europe, 1972–1975

Based on newly released documents from the German foreign ministry archives, this article investigates Bonn's goals, strategies and negotiation tactics at the Conference on Security and Development in Europe (CSCE). By focusing in particular on the multilateral preparatory talks in 1972/73 when the general Conference framework was negotiated and national and alliance positions were determined, it will be shown that (1) the Federal Republic of Germany was the key Western player at the CSCE, and (2) its policies were largely driven by national, Deutschlandpolitik interests – although on the surface the emphasis was always on a multilateral approach and a united Western (EPC/NATO) position. Furthermore, this article will reveal the significance of the ‘politics of language’ in West German diplomacy; and offer some wider reflections on the importance of language and its symbolism in international relations.

The German Foreign Ministry Archives and African Material

The defeat of Germany in 1945 has made available to scholars archival collections of the greatest importance. Most of the captured collections were shipped to England or the United States, where they were microfilmed and indexed before the new German government could request their return. The sale of microfilm copies has assured their continued availability to scholars everywhere, and the Bonn authorities have made no efforts to withdraw the original materials from public use. Among these materials are the archives of the German Foreign Ministry (Auswärtiges Amt). A guide to this collection was prepared by the Committee for the Study of War Documents of the American Historical Association, and was published in 1959 as A Catalogue of Files and Microfilms of the German Foreign Ministry Archives, 1867-1920. (The Hoover Institution is publishing the continuation of this catalogue for the period 1920-45. Copies may be secured through the Institution.)
