  • The EU-India Partnership: Time to Go Strategic? Institute for Security Studies Security for Institute European Union
    The EU-India partnership: time to go strategic? go to time The partnership: EU-India European Union Institute for Security Studies How can India and the EU expand their relationship from its current economic dimension Indian Council of to a broader, security-based dimension? Why is this not happening in spite of expressed World Affairs willingness and the clear reciprocal benefits that would ensue? Is there a lack of frank dialogue on sensitive areas, or is there a more general lack of mutual understanding? The various Indian and European contributors to this volume – the result of long-standing collaboration between the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) and the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) – assess incipient progress and explore ways to advance India-EU relations in the bilateral and multilateral dimensions of the Strategic Partnership. Although it was launched in 2004, a consensus emerges that such a partnership cannot be called strategic as yet. Continuing discussion and analysis of pressing issues is thus necessary in order to facilitate a breakthrough. This book contains detailed proposals for widening the scope of cooperation to both traditional and non-traditional security issues, such as counter-terrorism, security sector reform in third countries and energy. It also explores the potential for India and the EU to reach consensus in international governance forums, with particular emphasis on economic governance, as well as prospects for effective inter- regional cooperation on the main global security

  • Terrorism, Intelligence Sharing and Cooperation in the European Union 2016
    Terrorism, Intelligence sharing and Cooperation in the European Union 2016 Abstract The context in which this paper is written relates to an international threat which in the recent years grew in amplitude and received more and more attention from the political elites, namely the concept of terrorism. This paper puts the concept in the territory of the European Union likewise establishing the boundaries of the research. In completion of the context, the internal security dimension of the European Union will be focused on along with terrorism, which will be referred throughout the paper, while other threats such as cross-border crime will be briefly mentioned. The phenomenon of terrorist attacks grew in density within the European Union in the last two years. Thus, the objective of this paper is to identify some of the gaps in the internal security of the Union which cumbersome the implementation of countering measures. In doing so, the research will start from the premise that more focus should be given to information sharing and cooperation between national security services of the member states and the Union’s security related agencies (e.g. Europol, INTCEN) in order to manage the internal security and tackle terrorism. The base of the latter is rooted in official documents or pieces of communication released by European Union bodies, such as The European Agenda on Security or The Renewed European Union Internal Security Strategy 2015-2020. Then, to contrast, the paper will also bring into discussion an alternative for managing the information flow and internal security by presenting and analyzing some of the proposals for a supranational security body, a European secret service.

    NATO Intelligence Sharing in the 21st Century Columbia School of International and Public Affairs Capstone Research Project, Spring 2013 RESEARCH TEAM FACULTY ADVISOR Keenan Mahoney Dr. Joshua Rovner [email protected] [email protected] Nemanja Mladenovic [email protected] Salvador Molina [email protected] Adam Scher [email protected] Selma Stern [email protected] Christopher Zoia [email protected] TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 3 Introduction & Framework 4 France 8 Germany 18 Italy 28 Turkey 41 Conclusion 55 Notes 57 Appendix 65 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report analyzes the opportunities and obstacles for intelligence sharing with select NATO members: France, Germany, Italy, and Turkey. In addition to describing the history, organizational structure, and capabilities of these members’ civilian and military intelligence organizations, the report provides a framework for assessing a country’s propensity to share intelligence based on the following six factors: strategic priorities, security environment, established partnerships, intelligence capabilities, and culture. We hope this framework can serve as an enduring analytical tool for intelligence scholars and practitioners. Based on our research, we conclude the following about the prospects for intelligence sharing with France, Germany, Italy, and Turkey: Due to the insular nature of France’s secret services and the lack of legislative oversight, France’s propensity to share intelligence will depend on the characteristics of its potential partners. France will be likely to share if the partner is involved in similar areas of strategic interest, if it is affected by an event that causes a sense of crisis in France, if there are mutual “boots on the ground,” or if the partner is a member of Five Eyes.

It is hard not to feel far behind in the ever-escalating and hype-driven world of technology related to the cloud; a world that offers scalability, agility, and is seemingly far more cost-effective than traditional technology. Faced with large capital investments looming in the future, some institutions have even adopted large-scale all-in migrations to the cloud termed “lift and shift” in order to take advantage of these new technologies. While attending conferences, many of us have listened to speakers tout their embrace of the cloud and how it revolutionized their processes. Armed with this knowledge and feeling far behind, the committee set out to build a strategy to tackle the ostensibly lowest hanging fruit: Capital expenditures in the form of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
