Abstract

With the rise of mediatization, open-source intelligence (OSINT) has evolved into a decentralized form of intelligence gathering, influenced by both political and commercial logic. This transformation has positioned social media as a primary source of OSINT, enhancing the capabilities of non-state actors and significantly impacting international politics, particularly in the realm of great-power competition. Through an analysis spanning individual, state, and systemic levels, this article examines OSINT’s role in shaping contemporary international politics. By exploring case studies such as the Russo-Ukrainian War, Israel-Hamas War, and strategic competition between China and the United States, this article illuminates how OSINT influences decision-making processes and global power struggles and contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of intelligence and its implications for statecraft.

媒介化下的开源情报与大国竞争
随着媒体化的兴起,开源情报(OSINT)已演变成一种分散的情报收集形式,受到政治和商业逻辑的影响。这种转变使社交媒体成为 OSINT 的主要来源,增强了非国家行为者的能力,并对国际政治产生了重大影响,尤其是在大国竞争领域。本文通过对个人、国家和系统层面的分析,探讨了 OSINT 在塑造当代国际政治中的作用。通过对俄乌战争、以色列-哈马斯战争以及中美战略竞争等案例的探讨,本文阐明了操作系统情报如何影响决策过程和全球权力斗争,并有助于加深对不断演变的情报格局及其对国策影响的理解。
