  • Reversal Theory: Understanding the Motivational Styles of Espionage Lydia R
    Reversal Theory: Understanding the Motivational Styles of Espionage Lydia R. Wilson Is espionage a question of preference? Are there definite psychologi­ cal needs that compel individuals to seek satisfaction through spying against the interests of their own country? To address these ques­ tions, I apply Dr. Michael J. Apter's Reversal Theory (RT) to the espionage or insider threat problem to further our understanding of what may be done-pro actively-to counter what the former u.s. National Counterintelligence Executive calls "the top counterintel­ ligence challenge to our community."! About the varied application of his theory, Apter writes: New patterns become evident wherever we look, whether our interest is in family relations, violence, humor, risk-taking, leadership, sport, or almost any other topic. As a result, reversal theory is a theory of unusual generality that can act to integrate seemingly unrelated topics into a single overarching and comprehensive framework.2 The application of this versatile theory-that psychologists have applied to topics ranging from smoking cessation to enhancing ath­ letic performance-may have value for security professionals and the U.S. counterintelligence community. This is because RT may answer questions such as: • What are the basic motives of human beings? • Is there a pattern underlying different types of mental disorder? • Why is it that sometimes people voluntarily do unnecessary things that might harm them? • Why do people sometimes enjoy doing things that are forbid­ den?3 76 International Journal of Intelligence Ethics, Vol. 3, No. 1 I Spring/Summer 2012 Lydia R. Wilson 77 Goal of this Article The goal of this article is to present a better understanding of the psychology of those who have engaged in espionage-not to di­ agnose or establish a profile of those who might become a spy.

Distribute one card to each small group. Marcus Brutus Roman senator who agreed to join the conspiracy to assassinate his friend, Julius Caesar. He may have done so to prevent Caesar from claiming too much power and becoming a tyrant, or he may have done so for other reasons. Robert Hanssen A former FBI counter-intelligence agent who sold United States intelligence secrets to the Soviet Union, and later Russia, between 1979 and 2001. His activities led to the deaths of a number of members of, or informants for, the U.S. intelligence service. The subsequent report described his actions as “possibly the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history.” He did all this for nearly $1.5 million and diamonds. Judas Iscariot One of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. He is the one who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver and led the Roman soldiers to Jesus. In paintings of “The Last Supper,” Judas’s cup is typically portrayed as having overturned and spilled. After Jesus’s crucifixion, Judas hanged himself. Aldrich Ames A former CIA counter-intelligence officer who gave U.S. intelligence secrets to the Soviet Union, and later Russia, between 1985 and 1993. Numerous members of the U.S. intelligence service, or their informants, were executed by the Soviets as a result of the information he provided. His motivation for selling the secrets appeared to be money to support a lifestyle more luxurious than he could otherwise afford.

    ´Operation: Last Chance´: Dilemmas of Justice and Lessons for International Criminal Tribunals This is an extended version of the blog post that has been published on the OUP blog. By Sergey Vasiliev* In late July 2013, The Guardian reported that the Simon Wiesenthal Centre had launched a poster campaign in three German cities—Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne—requesting the public to assist in identifying and bringing to justice the last surviving alleged perpetrators of crimes of the Nazi regime. No less than two thousand posters were hung in the streets, featuring an authentic sinister black-and-white image of the most horrific dead-end the modern-era humankind has seen: the snow-covered rail tracks approaching the gate of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau extermination camp. The inscription underneath the photo reads, in German: ‘Late but not too late. Millions of innocents were murdered by Nazi war criminals. Some of the perpetrators are free and alive! Help us take them to court.’ A monetary reward of up to €25,000 is promised for valuable information leading to indictment (€5,000), conviction (€5,000), and detention for the period up to 150 days (with a tariff of €100 per day). The poster appeal implements the Centre’s initiative ‘Operation: Last Chance II’, the sequel to the campaign which kicked off in Germany in 2005 and, a few years earlier, in Austria, Baltic countries, and * Many thanks to Alexandra Popova, Elies van Sliedregt, Elinor Fry, Klaas Rozemond, and Harmen van der Wilt for their comments on a previous draft.

JMURJ Popular opinion and many historians portray the effects of Soviet espionage on the ABSTRACT United States as disastrous. Although covert Soviet efforts undeniably harmed America, their extent and gravity has been greatly exaggerated. This paper evaluates primary and secondary sources on the subject to strike a delicate balance between minimizing and inflating the effects of Soviet activities. It acknowledges that espionage did some damage, but questions the legal status, extent, and effect of much of the Soviets’ “stolen” information, ultimately arguing that most Soviet espionage was actually more harmful to the Soviet Union than to the United States.

  • An Inquiry Into Contemporary Australian Extreme Right
    THE OTHER RADICALISM: AN INQUIRY INTO CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN EXTREME RIGHT IDEOLOGY, POLITICS AND ORGANIZATION 1975-1995 JAMES SALEAM A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy Department Of Government And Public Administration University of Sydney Australia December 1999 INTRODUCTION Nothing, except being understood by intelligent people, gives greater pleasure, than being misunderstood by blunderheads. Georges Sorel. _______________________ This Thesis was conceived under singular circumstances. The author was in custody, convicted of offences arising from a 1989 shotgun attack upon the home of Eddie Funde, Representative to Australia of the African National Congress. On October 6 1994, I appeared for Sentence on another charge in the District Court at Parramatta. I had been convicted of participation in an unsuccessful attempt to damage a vehicle belonging to a neo-nazi informer. My Thesis -proposal was tendered as evidence of my prospects for rehabilitation and I was cross-examined about that document. The Judge (whose Sentence was inconsequential) said: … Mr Saleam said in evidence that his doctorate [sic] of philosophy will engage his attention for the foreseeable future; that he has no intention of using these exertions to incite violence.1 I pondered how it was possible to use a Thesis to incite violence. This exercise in courtroom dialectics suggested that my thoughts, a product of my experiences in right-wing politics, were considered acts of subversion. I concluded that the Extreme Right was ‘The Other Radicalism’, understood by State agents as odorous as yesteryear’s Communist Party. My interest in Extreme Right politics derived from a quarter-century involvement therein, at different levels of participation.
