後9/11美國反恐情報合作之研究 / A Study on the U.S. Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Cooperation After 9/11過子庸, Kuo, Tzu Yung Unknown Date (has links)
2001年9月11日發生在美國本土的自殺式恐怖襲擊事件之後,當時的小布希總統堅決宣示展開全面性「全球反恐怖主義戰爭」(Global War on Terrorism)。美國不僅以其強大的軍事力量,對付支持及庇護蓋達組織及其分支的國家,也與各國合作共同打擊恐怖主義。由於這是一場與傳統戰爭迥然不同的鬥爭,因此美國反恐的策略不但依賴軍事武力,還必須透過政治、外交、情報、金融與教育等多元途徑,並靈活運用國際的力量,徹底打擊恐怖主義。其中情報工作在反恐戰爭中扮演著非常重要的角色,因為恐怖分子在發動任何攻擊之前,可能會有些徵兆,若在事先能獲得蛛絲馬跡的情報,就能夠防患未然並且將危機消弭於無形。
在國際方面,9/11反而促成各國的合作,美國情報單位在這場反恐戰爭中也被賦予重要的任務,將反恐情報合作的觸角伸向全世界各個角落。由於美國與各國的合作程度影響全球打擊恐怖主義的成效,故有必要對美國主導的國際情報合作進行研究。美國在國際間致力反恐情報合作之際,同時也對其國內情報機制進行改革與重整。因為9/11的發生,很多人歸咎於國內情報單位的失職,美國政府於是開始對其情報圈,展開自杜魯門總統於1947年7月26日簽署《國家安全法案》以來,最重大的改革。因此也有必要對美國在9/11後的情報改革進行探討,以瞭解美國在此事件後所進行的國內情報改革情形及成效。 / In the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001, the U.S. President George W. Bush launched the “Global War on Terrorism”. The U.S. has fight against countries that support Al-Qaeda and its affiliate with powerful military strength and cooperated with various countries on combat terrorism. This is a disparately untraditional war and consequently America’s counterterrorism strategy is multi-faceted that includes not only military but also diplomacy, financial action, intelligence, education, etc. Intelligence, in particular, plays a pivotal role in this war. Signs of terrorist threat may be discovered and attacks can possibly be prevented if intelligence agencies received information about the plots in advance.
The September 11 attacks have facilitated bilateral and multilateral cooperation between countries in the globe. The U.S. especially undertakes great responsibilities in fighting against Al-Qaeda and its affiliates, and attaches strings to its counter terrorism cooperation around the world. Since the strength of the cooperative movement between the U.S. and other countries may affect the outcome of the global cooperation, conducting a study on the U.S.-led international intelligence cooperation is critical. While endeavoring to enhance international intelligence cooperation on anti-terrorism, the U.S. has conducted reform and adjustment of the domestic intelligence community. Owing to its intelligence failure on the September 11 attacks, the U.S. government initiated the greatest reform on intelligence mechanism since the former President Truman had signed the National Security Act of 1947. Therefore, study on and analysis of the results and achievement of the U.S. intelligence reform after the September 11 attacks is a must-do.
