DESCRIPTION:Tanzania’s political\, economic and social develop
 ment has been the focus of numerous studies by bot
 h indigenous and foreign scholars. Nevertheless\, 
 with the exception of key incidents such as the Za
 nzibar Revolution and Tanganyika Rifles Mutiny of 
 January 1964\, the development of the country’s se
 curity sector in the context of state-building eit
 her side of independence is not well understood. N
 either is the manner in which Tanzania’s security 
 sector interacted with the international community
  during this period\, whether it be the former Bri
 tish colonial power or other states such as Israel
 \, the US\, East Germany\, Czechoslovakia\, China\
 , the Soviet Union and Cuba. This reflects a wider
  imbalance in Intelligence Studies towards Anglo-A
 merican and Western-centric research.\n\nDrawing o
 n overseas archives from the United Kingdom\, Unit
 ed States\, Israel and Germany\, memoirs by former
  Tanzanian and Stasi officers\, and interviews wit
 h former officers of the British Secret Intelligen
 ce Service (SIS\, more popularly MI6) and Security
  Service (MI5)\, this talk reveals that significan
 t change occurred in Tanzania’s increasingly polit
 icised and unstable security sector from independe
 nce in 1961. Mirroring more neighbouring Uganda th
 an Kenya\, Britain lost its primary security assis
 tance role\, firstly to Israel\, then to a shiftin
 g consortium of the German Democratic Republic\, C
 zechoslovakia\, Soviet Union\, China and Cuba from
  the 1960s through to the end of the Cold War.\n\n
 \nDr Thomas Maguire is a Junior Research Fellow at
  Darwin College and the Department of Politics and
  International Studies (POLIS)\, University of Cam
 bridge\, where he completed his PhD in 2015\, and 
 a Teaching Fellow in the Intelligence and Internat
 ional Security Research Group at the Department of
  War Studies\, King's College London. Tom is also 
 a co-convenor of the Cambridge Intelligence Semina
 r\, teaches on the Cambridge Security Initiative’s
  International Security and Intelligence (ISI) spe
 cialist short-course\, and was the John Garnett Vi
 siting Fellow at the Whitehall-based Royal United 
 Services Institute for Defence and Security Studie
 s (RUSI) from 2014-2015.\n\nTom’s main ongoing pro
 ject is examining the influence of the UK on the d
 evelopment of state security sectors in the Global
  South through training and assistance since 1945.
  This lunchtime talk focuses on one of his case st
 udies in this project: Tanzania. Like all post-col
 onial states Tanzania’s political\, economic and s
 ocial development has been the focus of numerous s
 tudies by both indigenous and foreign scholars.\n
