Almut Möller joined ECFR in October 2015 to head the Berlin office together with Josef Janning.  Before joining ECFR she led the Europe programme at the German Council on Foreign Relations (2010-2015). Almut is a member of the extended board of Women in International Security (WIIS.de) as well as a member of the 14th Advisory Board on the Internal Leadership concept ("Innere Führung") of the German Federal Ministry of Defence.

Britain voted last week by a slim margin to leave the European Union. The economic implications were immediate, with stocks around the world plunging and the pound hitting its lowest level since 1985. A longer term effect will be on European defense. The Cipher Brief spoke with Almut Möller, head of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) Berlin Office and senior policy fellow there, about the impact on European security.

The Cipher Brief: What will be the impact on security of the European continent, particularly with regards to terrorism, now that the UK has voted to leave the EU?

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
