The German word ‘erzählt’ can be used very differently. It can simply mean telling, recounting or relating but it also can be used to convey that the content that is told at least doubtful or not believable. One erzählt [tells] fairy tales and especially in Austrian German one also ‘erzählt G’schichtln’. A phrase that directly translates to ‘telling stories’, but it expresses the notion that these stories in best case were (intended) to entertain the listener but should not be taken (too) seriously. But more often the phrase means that what has been told is nonsense, lies or a rumor. Given this connotation it is quite surprising, that the word was used in the title of this book. Especially since the verb ‘berichtet’ that can best directly translated with ‘reports’ would have had the same meaning without a possible subtext and indeed would have been the better fit. Since also German, intelligence services report.","PeriodicalId":47048,"journal":{"name":"Intelligence and National Security","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135829924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these programmes remain poorly understood – particularly in English language sources. To resolve this, this paper draws upon local-language reporting, Cold War histories and other sources to provide insight into the histories, key personalities, and evolution of Chile’s historical CBW programmes. This paper contributes to wider literature on Chile’s dictatorship, but also literature on CBW-proliferation, which remains confined to a relatively small set of case studies.","PeriodicalId":47048,"journal":{"name":"Intelligence and National Security","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136341463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Towards Intelligence Accountability as a virtue","authors":"Melanie Sofia Hartvigsen","doi":"10.1080/02684527.2023.2255446","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02684527.2023.2255446","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis article investigates the conceptualisation of accountability in the Intelligence Studies literature, distinguishing between accountability as a mechanism and a virtue, and questions the predominant emphasis on the former. The mechanism approach encounters two significant challenges: the functionalist solutions to accountability issues and the overarching focus on oversight bodies. Consequently, the literature ignores its own realisations of the importance of beliefs and perceptions within the services. I propose a novel approach to studying intelligence accountability by integrating insights from the Institutional Logics literature and Bourdieu’s political sociology to address these issues.

Using the partial least squares structural equation modelling method, the research statistically analyzes data from the U.S. International Intelligence Behaviour dataset and Global Terrorism Database. Grounded in intelligence studies and international relations theory, the study integrates a constructivist human security framework. Surprisingly, the results show a significant correlation between increased intelligence capacity and the degree of terrorism, suggesting intelligence may undermine rather than enhance human security. This finding challenges traditional assumptions, though it must be viewed cautiously due to potential endogeneity.","PeriodicalId":47048,"journal":{"name":"Intelligence and National Security","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136306919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that current typologies to study the roles of legislators in intelligence oversight do not fully capture the impact of partisanship on overseers’ behavior. Revisiting Loch Johnson’s typology of ‘role definitions’ to account for the behaviour of these legislators, we define four types of congressional investigators to understand how partisanship affected legislators’ behavior during the congressional investigations on Russian interference. We conclude by showing how our role definitions could be used to study congressional intelligence oversight on other high-profile issues.","PeriodicalId":47048,"journal":{"name":"Intelligence and National Security","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135742015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of the long-ascendant espionage threat, to date little is known about who is recruited, what motivated them and how they were caught. This article presents an analysis of espionage against European NATO and/or EU members, based on court convictions in 2010–2021. This provides a first overview of contemporary espionage in Europe, and complements previous research, which is dominated by single-case studies, mainly of Anglo-Saxon cases. Replicating large-N studies of American espionage, the study identifies transatlantic commonalities, including perpetrators being overwhelmingly male, middle-aged, and a mainly working outside of defence or intelligence agencies. But also differences, with Russia being by far the main instigator of espionage in Europe, a strong concentration of cases in Northern Europe, and a diversity of legislation coinciding with equally variable outcomes in court. Generally, the similarities speak to the nature of contemporary espionage, whereas the differences are chiefly attributable to geopolitical differences between the US and Europe.","PeriodicalId":47048,"journal":{"name":"Intelligence and National Security","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135938092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Po przeprowadzeniu w styczniu 2023 r. największych po 1989 r. ćwiczeń symulacyjnych z udziałem naczelnych władz państwowych, analizie działań wojennych na Ukrainie, a także związanych z nimi sytuacji kryzysowych, do których doszło na terytorium Polski, Prezydent RP za priorytetowe uznał dokonanie reform w systemie kierowania bezpieczeństwem państwa, planowaniu obronnym oraz kierowaniu i dowodzeniu Siłami Zbrojnymi RP. Propozycje regulacji zawarte zostały w projekcie ustawy o kierunkach działań organów władzy państwowej na wypadek zewnętrznego zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa państwa opublikowanym 16 sierpnia 2023 r. Jednym z zasadniczych celów projektowanej reformy jest dostosowanie systemu bezpieczeństwa do zagrożeń konwencjonalnych, hybrydowych i podprogowych, poprawienie elastyczności i szybkości reagowania na nie, a także maksymalne zbliżenie struktur i procedur czasu wojny i pokoju. Wystąpienie Prezydenta RP z strategiczną inicjatywą ustawodawczą podyktowane jest konstytucyjną rolą jaką pełni Głowa Państwa sprowadzającą się do stania na straży suwerenności i bezpieczeństwa oraz nienaruszalności i niepodzielności terytorium Rzeczypospolitej, w tym szczególnymi kompetencjami Prezydenta RP, jako kierującemu obroną państwa w czasie wojny.","PeriodicalId":47048,"journal":{"name":"Intelligence and National Security","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135452887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
