This project aims to establish the role and influence of British Intelligence in the making and implementation ofBritish foreign and imperial policy in the immediate post-war period, with a focus on the changes or lack thereofbetween the Attlee and Churchill governments. The initial hypothesis is that structural changes in Britain and theinternational order increased the influence of secret intelligence and reliance on it, by reducing the legitimacy of,and attraction to, resorting to military force. The project will draw from newly-released Foreign Office andColonial Office files in order to problematize the previous historiography.

该项目旨在确定英国情报机构在战后不久的英国外交和帝国政策制定和执行中的作用和影响，重点关注艾德礼和丘吉尔政府之间的变化或缺乏变化。最初的假设是，英国和国际秩序的结构性变化降低了诉诸武力的合法性和吸引力，从而增加了秘密情报的影响力和对其的依赖。该项目将借鉴新发布的外交部和殖民地办公室的文件，以使以前的史学出现问题。
