Book excerpt: This is a new evaluation of the role, dynamics and challenges of intelligence in peacekeeping activities and its place in a much wider social, economic and political context. It assesses the role of coalition forces, law enforcement agencies, development institutions, and non-governmental organisations who have become partners in peace support activities. Peacekeeping Intelligence (PKI) is a new form of intelligence stressing predominantly open sources of information used to create Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), and that demands multi-lateral sharing of intelligence at all levels. Unlike national intelligence, which emphasizes spies, satellites, and secrecy, PKI brings together many aspects of intelligence gathering including the media and NGOs. It seeks to establish standards in open source collection, analysis, security, counterintelligence and training and produces unclassified intelligence useful to the public. The challenges facing peacekeeping intelligence are increasingly entwined with questions of arms control, commercial interests, international crime, and ethnic conflict. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of military and security studies, intelligence and peacekeeping.

Book excerpt: Bogen er baseret på en rapport, som forfatteren efter hjemkomst fra tjeneste som observatør i det tidligere Jugolslavien fremsendte og senere brugte som grundlag for et projektarbejde på generalstabskursus, hvorefter det nu foreligger i en forkortet og til engelsk oversat form som nr. 14 i serien Finnish Defence Studies. Som bogens titel angiver, behandles emnet efterretningstjeneste under fredsstøttende operationer og på baggrund af sit arbejde hermed udtrykker forfatteren troen på, at den multinationale brigade - selv med ikke NATO-lande repræsenteret i sin organisation - på efterretningsområdet går ind i en periode, hvor den vil kunne leve op til såvel førernes krav som den operative situations fordringer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace operations such as Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR, the NATO peacekeeping mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina, pose significant challenges for conventional military forces. A complex threat environment, the dominance of political factors in military decision-making, and multinational operations complicate mission execution. As a result, OJE intelligence operations were exceedingly complex. The nature of the mission and the primacy of political factors blurred distinctions between strategic, operational, and tactical levels of intelligence. Intelligence operations were both joint and combined, integrating national and theater capabilities into a tactical structure and requiring the sharing of information outside NATO. Missing from U.S. intelligence doctrine and its related tactics, techniques, and procedures were the guidance and skills necessary for supporting peace operations. This strategic research project focuses on three primary areas that illustrate how intelligence in support of peace operations differs from doctrinal intelligence procedures developed to support conventional military operations: the nature of the threat and operating environments and their impact on intelligence operations; the importance of political factors in peace operations and their implications for intelligence professionals; and the implications of conducting intelligence operations in a coalition.

This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the problems of intelligence sharing among peacekeeping partners, mainly due to security concerns and a lack of policies and resources. The study posits that the current emphasis on violent extremism as a driver of conflict is misplaced, as TOC is a more pervasive cause, creating and exacerbating instability to increase its markets and capabilities and is an essential funding stream for violent extremists. The book identifies approaches to future missions emphasizing training and resourcing for analysts in the field.
Download or read book Keeping Watch written by A. Walter Dorn and published by UN. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge is power. In the hands of UN peacekeepers, it can be a power for peace. Lacking knowledge, peacekeepers often find themselves powerless in the field, unable to protect themselves and others. The United Nations owes it to the world and to its peacekeepers to utilize all available tools to make its monitoring and surveillance work more effective. "Keeping Watch" explains how technologies can increase the range, effectiveness, and accuracy of UN observation. Satellites, aircraft, and ground sensors enable wider coverage of many areas, over longer periods of time, while decreasing intrusiveness. These devices can transmit and record imagery for wider dissemination and further analysis, and as evidence in human rights cases and tribunals. They also allow observation at a safe distance from dangerous areas, especially in advance of UN patrols, humanitarian convoys, or robust forces. While sensor technologies have been increasing exponentially in performance while decreasing rapidly in price, however, the United Nations continues to use technologies from the 1980s. This book identifies potential problems and pitfalls with modern technologies and the challenges to incorporate them into the UN system. The few cases of technologies effectively harnessed in the field are examined, and creative recommendations are offered to overcome the institutional inertia and widespread misunderstandings about how technology can complement human initiative in the quest for peace in war-torn lands. ""Walter Dorn is one of the most thoughtful and knowledgeable analysts of peacekeeping and security policy, and this book makes an important contribution to a field that needs far more public discussion.""--The Hon. Bob Rae, MP for Toronto Centre and Liberal Foreign Affairs critic

This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by Michael Kowalski, Chairman of the Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association Many intelligence practitioners feel that the statutory footing on which intelligence agencies have been placed forms an impediment to confronting unprecedented contemporary challenges. On the basis of case studies spanning the period from the First World War to the present, this book argues that while the intelligence community in the era of globalization has indeed come to face new and complex challenges that require adaptation, operating in demanding and changing environments is not new at all. This book questions the conventional wisdom of 9/11 or the end of the Cold War as caesurae. It also argues that the ability to adapt, innovate, question and learn from past experience is crucial for the success of intelligence organizations, rather than ever-expanding funding. Agencies’ ability to reflect, adapt and learn from experience determines their subsequent capability to deliver. One key development resulting from globalization is the marked increase in cooperation between intelligence agencies of different countries on the one hand, and between investigative agencies and intelligence agencies on the other. This has led to concerns over human rights and privacy and to increased calls for accountability and improved oversight as the increase in cooperation between organizations operating globally also provides scope for the circumvention of domestic restrictions. This book proposes an instrument to assess the effectiveness of existing accountability arrangements and offers new insights into the role of (military) intelligence in a number of crises, e.g., the 1962 Cold War confrontation over Western New Guinea, and the functioning of intelligence in peacekeeping operations ranging from Srebrenica to Mali. Thematically comprehensive, it offers a mixture of historical, legal, operational, and policy aspects, analyzed through the lens of institutional learning, bringing together academic and practitioners’ perspectives. The focus lies not only on the familiar Anglo-Saxon experience but also on cases from India, the Netherlands, South East Asia, Bosnia, Lebanon, and Mali. The book is aimed at both scholars and practitioners studying and/or working in the field of civil and military intelligence, and those involved in international relations and international humanitarian law/human rights law. It brings together contributions from authors who spoke at the Conference to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Dutch Military Intelligence and Security Service, organized by the Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association (NISA), and from a number of authors who were specifically invited to participate. About the editors: Floribert Baudet is Associate Professor of Strategy at the Netherlands Defence Academy in Breda; Eleni Braat is Assistant Professor at the Department of History and Art History at Utrecht University; Jeoffrey van Woensel is a military historian who works at the Veteraneninstituut in Doorn; and Aad Wever is an independent scholar who formerly worked at Saxion University of Applied Sciences in Enschede and Ferris State University, MI, USA, and who is now retired. Specific to this book: • Offers a mixture of historical, legal, operational, and policy aspects, analyzed through the lens of institutional learning• Brings together academic and practitioners’ perspectives• Focusses not only on the familiar Anglo-Saxon experience but also presents cases from India, the Netherlands, South East Asia, Bosnia, Lebanon, and Mali
Download or read book Joint Intelligence in Support of Peace Operations written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the joint military intelligence (MI) system is increasingly robust, technologically capable, and more responsive to the operational commander's needs, it has principally been designed to support conventional combat operations. Since DESERT STORM, however, commanders from Somalia to the Balkans have found the system requires substantial modification of its mechanisms and focus in order to successfully cope with less conventional peace operations. Analysis of recent and ongoing peace operations yields eight key differences between joint MI support to them and conventional combat support operations, none of which receives sufficient emphasis in published joint or individual service peacekeeping doctrine or associated tactics, techniques, and procedures. Those key differences combine to form a practical planning framework from which four imperatives are extrapolated and proposed as vital to future peace operations planning. In short, joint MI support in this realm must focus foremost on force protection. It must be centered around an in-depth human intelligence core. It must judiciously apply technology to support that human intelligence core. And its architecture must be designed for simplicity and understanding in order to accommodate the complex mix of military, cultural, political, and economic factors that distinguish peace operations from the conventional combat support role it was designed to serve.
Download or read book Information Operations written by Robert David Steele and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past year, Information Operations (IO) has matured from an early emphasis on the protection of critical infrastructures and against electronic espionage and is now more focused on content and on interagency information-sharing. The value of information--all information, not only secret information--and the value of global monitoring in all languages, 24/7, has been clearly established by the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (USDI). This monograph defines and discusses three IO elements: Strategic Communication (the message); Open Source Intelligence (the reality); and, Joint Information Operations Centers (the technology). It concludes with a strategic overview of the various conceptual and technical elements required to meet modern IO needs, and provides a requirements statement that could be tailored to the needs of any Combatant Commander, service, or agency.
