Book Synopsis Geheimhaltung und Transparenz by : Wolbert K. Smidt
Download or read book Geheimhaltung und Transparenz written by Wolbert K. Smidt and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2007 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angesichts globaler Terror-Netzwerke und der von ihnen ausgehenden strategischen Bedrohung werden Geheimdienste in Ost und West zunehmend mit neuen Aufgaben und Befugnissen ausgestattet. Sie erfahren damit einen Machtzuwachs, der die Frage nach ihrer Kontrolle mit Dringlichkeit auf die Tagesordnung der öffentlichen Diskussion in demokratischen Ländern setzt. Beiträge von Verantwortlichen und Experten aus zwölf Ländern (Deutschland, Großbritannien, Niederlande, Spanien, Schweiz, Russland, Ukraine, Tschechien, Rumänien, USA, Kanada, Israel) werden hier mit dem Ziel veröffentlicht, die verschiedenen Systeme der Kontrolle von Geheimdiensten einschl. durch die Medien kritisch in den Blick zu nehmen und miteinander zu vergleichen. Mithilfe von weitgehend aktualisierten Analysen , die teilweise auf Diskussionsbeiträgen einer internationalen Tagung im März 2004 beruhen, wird die Frage geprüft, inwieweit die verschiedenen Kontrollsysteme geeignet sind, trotz aller Geheimhaltungsbedürfnisse der Dienste Transparenz zu fördern und Vertrauen in die Rechtmäßigkeit und Effizienz der geheimdienstlichen Arbeit zu rechtfertigen. Wie Bundestagsvizepräsident Wolfgang Thierse in seinem Geleitwort schreibt, soll das Buch damit zu einer immer wieder notwendigen Auseinandersetzung um die Gestaltung einer lebendigen Demokratie anregen. Das Buch wendet sich insofern nicht nur an Fachleute, sondern auch an die Bürgerinnen und Bürger.
Book Synopsis Executive Secrecy and Democratic Politics by : Dorothee Riese
Download or read book Executive Secrecy and Democratic Politics written by Dorothee Riese and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the parliamentary negotiation of executive secrecy. Parliaments depend on information to fulfil their roles as the people’s representatives, legislators and overseers of the executive. However, there are examples of executive secrecy across all policy fields. How, then, do parliamentary actors try to reconcile secrecy and the normative demands of an open, democratic society? This volume analyses parliamentary arguments, conflicts and patterns of agreement around this topic in the case of Germany. Based on two case studies – intelligence agencies secrecy and Public Private Partnership secrecy – it argues that substantive justifications of secrecy focusing on necessity are highly contested. By contrast, procedural legitimation of secrecy, namely deciding about it democratically, is crucial. Still, there are inherent limits to the legitimation of executive secrecy. The book therefore underlines the fragility of secrecy’s legitimation, and its need for constant actualisation.
Book Synopsis The Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies by : Liam Francis Gearon
Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies written by Liam Francis Gearon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of intensified international terror, universities have been increasingly drawn into an arena of locating, monitoring and preventing such threats, forcing them into often covert relationships with the security and intelligence agencies. With case studies from across the world, the Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies provides a comparative, in-depth analysis of the historical and contemporary relationships between global universities, national security and intelligence agencies. Written by leading international experts and from multidisciplinary perspectives, the Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies provides theoretical, methodological and empirical definition to academic, scholarly and research enquiry at the interface of higher education, security and intelligence studies. Divided into eight sections, the Handbook explores themes such as: the intellectual frame for our understanding of the university-security-intelligence network; historical, contemporary and future-looking interactions from across the globe; accounts of individuals who represent the broader landscape between universities and the security and intelligence agencies; the reciprocal interplay of personnel from universities to the security and intelligence agencies and vice versa; the practical goals of scholarship, research and teaching of security and intelligence both from within universities and the agencies themselves; terrorism research as an important dimension of security and intelligence within and beyond universities; the implication of security and intelligence in diplomacy, journalism and as an element of public policy; the extent to which security and intelligence practice, research and study far exceeds the traditional remit of commonly held notions of security and intelligence. Bringing together a unique blend of leading academic and practitioner authorities on security and intelligence, the Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies is an essential and authoritative guide for researchers and policymakers looking to understand the relationship between universities, the security services and the intelligence community.

Book Synopsis National Intelligence Systems by : Gregory F. Treverton
Download or read book National Intelligence Systems written by Gregory F. Treverton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of investigations, especially in Great Britain and the United States, have focused attention on the performance of national intelligence services. At the same time, terrorism and a broad span of trans-national security challenges has highlighted the crucial role of intelligence. This book takes stock of the underlying intellectual sub-structure of intelligence. For intelligence, as for other areas of policy, serious intellectual inquiry is the basis for improving the performance of real-world institutions. The volume explores intelligence from an intellectual perspective, not an organizational one. Instead the book identifies themes that run through these applications, such as the lack of comprehensive theories, the unclear relations between providers and users of intelligence, and the predominance of bureaucratic organizations driven by collection. A key element is the development, or rather non-development, of intelligence toward an established set of methods and standards and, above all, an ongoing scientific discourse.

Book Synopsis The Image of the Enemy by : Paul Maddrell
Download or read book The Image of the Enemy written by Paul Maddrell and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligence agencies spend huge sums of money to collect and analyze vast quantities of national security data for their political leaders. How well is this intelligence analyzed, how often is it acted on by policymakers, and does it have a positive or negative effect on decision making? Drawing on declassified documents, interviews with intelligence veterans and policymakers, and other sources, The Image of the Enemy breaks new ground as it examines how seven countries analyzed and used intelligence to shape their understanding of their main adversary. The cases in the book include the Soviet Union's analysis of the United States (and vice versa), East Germany's analysis of West Germany (and vice versa), British intelligence in the early years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Israeli intelligence about the Palestinians, Pakistani intelligence on India, and US intelligence about Islamist terrorists. These rivalries provide rich case studies for scholars and offer today’s analysts and policymakers the opportunity to closely evaluate past successes and failures in intelligence analysis and the best ways to give information support to policymakers. Using these lessons from the past, they can move forward to improve analysis of current adversaries and future threats.
Book Synopsis Intelligence and Human Rights in the Era of Global Terrorism by : Steven Tsang
Download or read book Intelligence and Human Rights in the Era of Global Terrorism written by Steven Tsang and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing the threats posed by dedicated suicide bombers who have access to modern technology for mass destruction and who intend to cause maximum human suffering and casualties, democratic governments have hard choices to make. On the one hand, they must uphold the basic values of democratic societies based on due process and human rights. On the other, they need to pre-empt the kind of destruction inflicted upon New York, Madrid, London, and Bali. The premise of this book is that for intelligence organizations to be able to face up to the challenges of global terrorism, they must think outside the box and utilize all of their resources effectively and creatively. To overcome the enemy, we must also secure the peace. Winning the hearts and minds of the terrorists' pool of potential recruits will be essential to cutting off the supply of suicide bombers. The support and cooperation of the people in countries where the terrorists strike must be sustained by ensuring they have confidence in the government and intelligence services. If a government and its intelligence services become so focused on pre-empting terrorist attacks that they infringe on the rights of their citizens and encroach on democratic norms, they unwittingly fall into a trap set by Al Qaeda and its kind. These organizations aim to destroy the democratic way of life so cherished in the West, and to incite the Muslim populations in democratic countries and their non-Muslim fellow citizens into a vicious circle of mutual hatred and violence. This book therefore addresses not only the question of how intelligence organizations can improve their efficacy in pre-empting terrorist outrages, but also the wider issue of removing the forces that sustain global terrorism as a scourge of the 21st century. The general public in the target countries and recruiting grounds must also be persuaded that—despite their rhetoric—the terrorists are not engaged in a holy war. Ultimately, the brand of global terrorism promoted by Osama bin Laden and his associates is meant to satisfy their own vanity and aspirations toward semi-divine status; the organization they have formed for this purpose is merely a global syndicate that commits serious crimes of a particularly heinous nature. Intelligence services of various countries need to find convincing evidence to prove this point. But it is up to governments, civil society, and the media in different parts of the world to work together if the evidence unearthed by national intelligence services is to be accepted by the general public. Unless the emotional or quasi-religious appeal of the global terrorists can be removed, the simple arrest of bin Laden and his close associates—or even the destruction of Al Qaeda as an organization—will not be sufficient to prevent others from rising to replace them.

Book Synopsis A Transparent Illusion by : C.R.A. Morray-Jones
Download or read book A Transparent Illusion written by C.R.A. Morray-Jones and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jewish hekhalot mysticism, one who ascends to the heavenly temple may see something which looks like - but is not - water. Should he be deceived by this illusion, he betrays his unworthiness and exposes himself to retribution. Detailed examination of the water vision discovers that its real object is the celestial pavement, separating the fiery divine realm from the "watery" world of impure organic matter. This pavement is Ezekiel's firmament of hashmal - a luminous crystalline substance - seen by the visionary from above. Further investigation finds that the water vision continues an ancient tradition of exegesis of Ezekiel 1 as an account of a heavenly ascent, in which "water" signifies materiality, femininity and impurity. The wide and profound influence of these ideas is encountered in a variety of Jewish, Christian and Gnostic sources.
Book Synopsis Transparency and Secrecy in European Democracies by : Dorota Mokrosinska
Download or read book Transparency and Secrecy in European Democracies written by Dorota Mokrosinska and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume offers a critical discussion of the trade-offs between transparency and secrecy in the actual political practice of democratic states in Europe. As such, it answers to a growing need to systematically analyse the problem of secrecy in governance in this political and geographical context. Focusing on topical cases and controversies in particular areas, the contributors reflect on the justification and limits of the use of secrecy in democratic governance, register the social, cultural, and historical factors that inform this process and explore the criteria used by European legislators and policy-makers, both at the national and supranational level, when balancing interests on the sides of transparency and secrecy, respectively. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of security studies, political science, European politics/studies, law, history, political philosophy, public administration, intelligence studies, media and communication studies, and information technology sciences.
Book Synopsis History of Transparency in Politics and Society by : Jens Ivo Engels
Download or read book History of Transparency in Politics and Society written by Jens Ivo Engels and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, the demand for transparency is omnipresent. In particular, transparency is considered a prerequisite for good governance, for political participation and democracy. On closer inspection, however, transparency proves to be ambivalent. For complete transparency has not yet been achieved anywhere. Moreover, measures to increase transparency can have the opposite effect and stir up mistrust. Historians are just beginning to discover this topic. The volume assembles contributions covering European history since the 19th century. The contributors focus on political and cultural history, but include also economic and media history as well as the history of ideas. They analyse publicly debated demands and efforts for transparency, conceived as the access to information or ist disclosure.
