Albrecht Conze is a diplomat and UN peace keeper. Dr. Conze is currently serving as Germany’s ambassador to Zimbabwe. Having joined his country’s foreign service in 1981, he has since served in Hong Kong, Beijing, Vienna (arms control negotiations), Warsaw, Tunis and Moscow. His government has twice seconded him to UN peace keeping missions: first to UNMIK in Pristina (1999-2000), and later to MONUC in Kinshasa where he worked as deputy political director from 2004 to 2006. He then served as ambassador to Benin before moving on to Zimbabwe in 2008.

His publications cover post-communism developments in Central Europe, current issues regarding the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe, and some aspects of international law. Educated at the universities of Freiburg, Heidelberg, Geneva and Cambridge, Albrecht Conze holds a doctorate in international law from Freiburg University.

Before going into diplomacy, he briefly worked as a lawyer, following his admission to the bar at West Berlin in 1981. While currently at Harvard University as a Weatherhead Fellow, he is researching for a book on parameters for Africa’s political emancipation beyond aid and dependency.
