Russia has since the beginning of the Cold War been a security problem and a threat to the Scandinavian countries, this considered by the countries' respective intelligence service, actors that are analysing Russia and the threat to the countries. However, information about Russia as a threat from the intelligence services' own perspective has so far been limited to information related to the Cold War period. This study thus aims to fill the research gap that exists on how intelligence services currently view Russia and contribute to more knowledge about how they view the threat from Russia, through their annual reports concerning the years 2012-2019. These annual reports are published by the intelligence services and describe their focus areas. This thesis uses a qualitative method to study the annual reports. To analyse what emerged from the annual reports, three different analytical frameworks are used: Buzan’s expanded security concept, the regional security complex theory and the balance of threat theory. What has emerged from examining these annual reports is that the threat from Russia has become increasingly complex and that Russia today and in contrast to the Cold War period, operates not only in the traditional military and political sector, but also in the economic and the societal sector. Based on the intelligence services' annual reports, Russia has increased as a threat and affects more regions concerning the security than its own. In order to be able to fully understand Scandinavia's region and security, Russia as a threat to the countries must be included. Sweden has not chosen to respond to the threat from Russia by joining NATO, where both Denmark and Norway are already members. The three Scandinavian countries have responded to the threat from Russia by increasing their focus on the national defence.

When we looked at different issues in terrorism such as definitions, descriptions and motivations, groups and supporters, tactics, strategies, and victims of terrorists and terrorist activities, we see that terrorism is an issue that can occur at any time, and in any place, and it seems that the terrorism threat will still exist in the future. It is almost impossible to stop all terrorist activities all over the world, but it is possible to formulate an anti-terrorism policy that can keep terrorist activities at a minimum level and prevent planned terror activities by a well developed intelligence network. It seems that to establish a good intelligence collection system an approach in which HUMINT and TECHINT are interdependent with each other is necessary. By using a combination of human and technical intelligence collection methods, intelligence agencies can become more effective and efficient against terrorism.

CHDS State/Local / The tragedy of 11 September 2001 revealed two major shortcomings: the US military and the Department of Defense's inability to respond quickly to and defend against the threat posed by foreign terrorists to the United States, and the inability of the Intelligence and Law Enforcement Communities to fuse and analyze foreign threat intelligence with domestic law enforcement information in a timely fashion to provide adequate indications and warning of such an attack. The United States Northern Command Intelligence Directorate (J2) has the primary mission in providing accurate, timely, and relevant indications and warnings of potential threats to the Commander, USNORTHCOM. The USNORTHCOM J2 must be able to use all intelligence sources, including law enforcement information, to better understand the potential threats and capabilities arrayed against it. This enables the USNORTHCOM J2 to provide the Commander, USNORTHCOM an all-source, fused analytic assessment of potential threats as the command carries out its mission to "deter, prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the United States," and thus fulfilling the command's role as the Department of Defense's primary lead command in homeland defense and homeland security. / Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) - Navy - Terrorism Analysis Branch Chief, US Northern Command (Northcom) NORAD - Intelligence Directorate

Le terrorisme est un phénomène complexe. La menace qu'il constitue pour les Etats et la communauté internationale conduit à ne plus limiter son appréhension à la seule répression de ses manifestations. Les politiques nationales sont ainsi dirigées vers une anticipation des actes terroristes. Dès lors, la prévention du terrorisme ne se contente plus d'une organisation juridique performante, mais oriente ses priorités sur des services de renseignements efficaces, sur la lutte contre le financement des activités terroristes et tend à anticiper les menaces nouvelles de type NRBC notamment. L'évidente insuffisance d'une prise en charge uniquement nationale du phénomène n'étant plus à démontrer face à un terrorisme transnational, une approche internationale apparait nécessaire. Bien qu'imparfaite, elle se matérialise par une prise en charge juridique du phénomène mais également par une coopération diplomatique, policière et judiciaire dont l'efficacité n'est souvent pas à la hauteur de la menace, demeurant ainsi largement perfectible. Dès lors, face aux difficultés et imperfections nationales et internationales existantes, l'amélioration de la prévention du terrorisme doit conduire à une réflexion sur ses causes afin de pallier les motivations terroristes et doit s'accompagner d'une étude sur les perspectives futures de manifestations terroristes afin d'anticiper et de prévenir au mieux le terrorisme d'aujourd'hui et ce que peut être le terrorisme de demain. / The terrorism is a complex phenomenon. The threat which it establishes for States and the international community leads not to limit any more its apprehension to the only repression of its demonstrations. The national politics are so managed towards an anticipation of the terrorist acts. From then on, the prevention of the terrorism contents itself no more than a successful legal organization, but direct its priorities on services of effective information, on wrestling against the financing of the terrorist activities and tends to anticipate type NRBC's new threats in particular. The evident incapacity of an only national coverage of the phenomenon not being any more to demonstrate in front of a transnational terrorism, an international approach seems necessary. Although imperfect, it materializes by a legal coverage of the phenomenon but also by a diplomatic, police and judicial cooperation, the efficiency of which is not often as high as the threat, remaining so widely perfectible. From then on, in front of difficulties and existing national and international imperfections, the improvement of the prevention of the terrorism has to lead to a reflection on its causes to mitigate the terrorist motivations and has to come along with a study on the future perspectives of terrorist demonstrations to anticipate and prevent at best the current terrorism and that can be the terrorism of tomorrow.
