Intelligence analysis in the knowledge age : an analysis of the challenges facing the practice of intelligence analysisDuvenage, Magdalena Adriana 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Information Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The intelligence community throughout the world is still reeling after several intelligence
failures. Proposals to improve Intelligence Analysis have had little impact as analysts, their
managers and their organisations continue to cling to outdated threat perceptions,
methodologies and organisational structures and cultures. This thesis looks through the lens of
Knowledge Management at the various challenges that the Intelligence Analysis practice is
faced with in the Knowledge Age. Firstly, theories and concepts from Intelligence Analysis
are challenged when compared with those in Knowledge Management and the possibility of
applying new vocabularies in intelligence is discussed. The second challenge intelligence
analysts face is to understand and adapt to the changed world with its connected, non-linear
and rapidly enfolding events and patterns which broadens their scope to a multi-faceted,
complex and multi-disciplinary threat picture. The third challenge is to re-look the existing
analytical methodologies, tools and techniques, realising that these are most probably
inadequate in a complex environment. The fourth challenge Intelligence Analysis faces is to
reach out to other disciplines and assess how new analytical techniques, both intuitive and
structured, as well as cognitive models, collaborative and organisational structure concepts
from within the Knowledge Management discipline can improve Intelligence Analysis’ grasp
of the Knowledge Age. In conclusion, it is argued that intelligence analysts might be ready to
reinvent themselves to address Knowledge Age issues, but that intelligence organisations are
not able to support a new intelligence paradigm while still clinging to threat perceptions and
structures befitting the Cold War. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:
Die internasionale intelligensie gemeenskap steier steeds na verskeie intelligensie terugslae
die afgelope dekade. Voorstelle om intelligensie analise te verbeter het weinig impak terwyl
analiste, hulle bestuurders en organisasies voortgaan om vas te hou aan uitgediende
bedreigingsperspesies, analitiese metodes en organisatoriese strukture en kulture. Deur die
lens van Kennis Bestuur, poog hierdie verhandeling om die verskeie uitdagings wat die
Intelligensie Analise praktyk in die Kennis Era in die gesig staar, te identifiseer. Eerstens
word bestaande teorieë en konsepte in Intelligensie Analise met dié in Kennis Bestuur
vergelyk en die moontlikheid van ‘n nuwe woordeskat vir intelligensie word bespreek. Die
tweede uitdaging vir intelligensie analiste is om by die nuwe wêreld en versnellende
verandering aan te pas. Hulle word nou gekonfronteer met ‘n bedreigingsprent wat
veelvlakkig, kompleks en multi-dissiplinêr is. Die derde uitdaging is om die bestaande
analitiese metodologiëe, hulpmiddels en tegnieke te herwaardeer in die lig van hierdie nuwe
wêreld. Die vierde uitdaging is om na ander dissiplines, insluitend dié van Kennis Bestuur, uit
te reik sodat Intelligensie Analise verbeter kan word deur die toepassing van hierdie
dissiplines se analitiese metodes (beide intuitief en gestruktureerd), hul kognitiewe en
samewerkings modelle, sowel as organisasie struktuur konsepte. Laastens word
geargumenteer dat Intelligensie Analiste dalk gereed is om hulself te vernuwe, maar dat hul
intelligensie organisasies nie ‘n nuwe intelligensie paradigma kan ondersteun terwyl hulle
voortgaan om bedreigingspersepsies, strukture en bestuurbeginsels toe te pas wat eerder by
die Koue Oorlog tuis hoort nie.

Conclui-se comparando os modelos de supervisão e revisão brasileiro e canadense, e discutindo-se a possibilidade de aproveitamento da experiência de ambos para o perfeiçoamento do controle. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The main objective of this Dissertation is to study intelligence and the mechanisms of control over secret services, particularly in Brazil and Canada. The first part of the Dissertation is dedicated to analyze the influence of intelligence in international relations along history. It also contains a presentation of theoretical and methodological approaches of intelligence,
and a general perspective of control related to secret services. The second part evolves the study of the intelligence systems in Brazil and in Canada, and the particular mechanisms of control and accountability in each country. To conclude, a comparison between Brazil and Canada is made, considering the control of the intelligence community, especially in terms of external review and oversight.

State power and intelligence in an age of knowledgeTheunissen, Christopher Andrew 13 August 2012 (has links)
D. Litt. et Phil. / The primary hypothesis postulated in this thesis reads The power of states in the postmodern age of knowledge is commensurate with their intelligence capabilities ', and is utilised in addressing the problem of state power and intelligence in an age of knowledge. It is argued that the contemporary era wherein states, individuals and other entities practice their existence is fundamentally different to that of historical precedent. In effect this era can be characterised as being an age of knowledge which has superceded the former information age. Sophisticated knowledge based technologies both informational and distributional are shown to be the catalysts which have facilitated the transformation to the age of knowledge, bringing about in effect a 'new world information order'. Information and intelligence are the metaphorical passengers and product ofthe use of knowledge based technologies and associated communication processes. They represent the raison d 'etre of such technologies, in effect spurring on their development. Intelligence, being a user-specific type of information designed to provide the recipient with context and opportunity with respect to a specific problem or situation, is shown in this thesis to be a fundamental resource for the making of both decisions and subsequently policy in, and for, government. It is demonstrated that the impact of intelligence on decision- and policymaking makes it a primary determinant of state power in an age of knowledge. The efficient management of information and intelligence does, and can, therefore impact upon the relative power of the state at both inter- and intranational levels. Consequently, the aforementioned primary hypothesis presented in the thesis is validated as it is clearly demonstrated that the power of states in the postmodern age of knowledge is in effect commensurate with their intelligence capabilities. The solution provided in this thesis in addressing the aforementioned problem lies in the need for recognition of the role and influence that information and intelligence have on state power in the age of knowledge. In addition, in order to exploit the power of information and intelligence it is necessary to regard it as being fundamental to information management at all levels, and for all functions, of government. This can, however, only be achieved by means of the development of a national information and intelligence strategy. A key aspect of such a strategy would be the utilisation of private sector resources for intelligence, specifically in the context of open source intelligence, a situation made possible by the 'new realities' which are characteristic of the age of knowledge.

The origins of state security screening in CanadaHannant, Larry 05 1900 (has links)
Describing Canada's security intelligence practice, historians have identified 1945as a watershed. In September of that year Igor Gouzenko defected from the embassy of the Soviet Union in Ottawa, carrying with him evidence that the Soviets operated an espionage ring in this country. According to historical canon, Gouzenko's defection and the investigations which resulted from it forced the Canadian government to initiate a security screening program for civil servants and armed forces personnel. This program was an attempt to discern the political opinions, behaviour and trustworthiness of people in positions of trust both inside the state and outside. This thesis rewrites the conventional history of state security screening in Canada. By reexamining existing evidence and making use of records uncovered through the Access to Information Act, this work demonstrates that security screening of civil servants, military personnel and naturalization applicants began in the years between the First and Second World Wars. Revising the point at which security screening began also forces a reevaluation of the motivation for security screening. Security screening was not launched to detect and neutralize foreign espionage agents. Rather, it was borne out of a deep fear of communists among the Canadian people. Concern about internal dissent, not about foreign spying, was responsible for this new security intelligence development.
This work also reexamines the Canadian government's supervision of its primary security intelligence agency, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Contrary to the widely held view that the Canadian cabinet initiated and supervised the screening system, this thesis shows that the RCMP operated a program for at least fifteen years without political
authorization and guidance. In doing so, it committed acts which can only be regarded as civil liberties violations. Nevertheless, abuses were relatively minor. One reason why they were was the dubious legality of the program. Carrying out a program which lacked political approval, the RCMP kept a tight rein on the security screening system, fearing a controversy which could be embarrassing and damaging to its own security intelligence capacity. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

New Surveillance Technologies and the Invasion of Privacy RightsSimsek, Yilmaz 08 1900 (has links)
Definition of privacy has changed by the changes and improvements in information and surveillance technologies. These changes and improvement need new legal decisions for new kinds of privacy invasions. This study explores the scope of privacy right, particularly when a technological surveillance has occurred by law enforcement agencies. It focuses in particular on increasing law enforcements' surveillance technologies and devices that have the potential to impact citizens' information privacy. These increasing changes in surveillance technologies have important implications both for law enforcements and citizens. This study also discusses increasing law enforcement surveillance for the public's security, changes of the laws that allow law enforcements to use new surveillance powers as a war on terrorism, and the citizens concerns of information privacy. A particular attention is given to the recent public opinion surveys which show citizens' increasing privacy concerns. Finally, a set of recommendations to figure out security-privacy debate and reduce the privacy concerns of the citizens is offered.
