    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.

  • The Financing of the 'Islamic State' in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS The financing of the ‘Islamic State’ in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) ABSTRACT Threatening both its caliphate project and its sources of funding, the series of military setbacks that the so-called Islamic State group (IS) has suffered for several months have called into question the group’s very existence. That is not to say that its offensive capabilities will be neutered – the organisation will remain able to employ ’low-cost‘ terrorist attacks to target civilians throughout the Middle East, Africa, Europe, America or Asia. In mobilising Member States to fight against terrorism, the European Parliament’s role is crucial. Individually, Member States have an important part to play in effectively implementing common decisions. Their varying levels of engagement, as well as the progress they have made in confronting the financing of terrorism and especially IS, should be considered. An annual reporting framework should be put into place to better evaluate the measures taken by both Member States and the Commission in this area.

  • Politics of Remembrance, Colonialism and the Algerian War of Independence in France
    Chapter 19 POLITICS OF REMEMBRANCE, COLONIALISM AND THE ALGERIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE IN FRANCE ~ Jan Jansen Since the final wave of decolonisation in the 1950s and 1960s, 'colonialism' and 'imperialism' have been considered part of a European - as weH as worldwide - historical heritage.1 But unlike the two world wars and the Holocaust, they have not yet found their place in the various national or shared European cultures of remembrance. This relates not only to the fact that colonialism ended relatively recently but also to its spatial distance. The 'great events' of colonial history did not take place inside Europe; rather, colonialism left its most significant marks in remote and 'exotic' regions. Despite great efforts to transmit the 'colonial experience' to the metropole via cultural media and its impact on everyday life/ for many Europeans colonialism remained an abstract concept. Its presence in the public space has been dependent on a strong political will, a will which abruptly decreased after decolonisation, when colonialism no longer con­ tributed to national glory. By simply abandoning existing commemora­ tive and propagandistic efforts, it was thus quite easy to deterritorialise colonial history from Europe. A critical remembrance of colonialism was (and still is) even more unlikely, as colonial history after decolonisation was a history of loss and defeat, undermining the generaHy 'narcissistic' politics of national identity. Nevertheless, since the 1990s, in countries such as France, Italy and Germany, it is possible to identify a 'rediscovery' of colonial history in academic, public and sometimes even political discourse. Working against the deterritorialisation of the colonial past, researchers are beginning to revisit its residues and reflections within Europe.

Il aime les chevaux, parle l'arabe couramment et a fait l'école de la diplomatie en gilet pare-balles. Bernard Bajolet, l'homme le mieux renseigné du pays, préfère l'ombre aux paillettes. Confidences. Durant sa jeunesse lorraine, rien ne prédestinait ce bon élève du lycée Poincaré de Nancy à mener une carrière de diplomate. « J'étais plutôt du genre rugueux, ce qui ne m'a pas forcément nui par la suite », s'amuse Bernard Bajolet. Diplômé de Sciences-po Paris, il réussit de justesse le concours de l'Ena et conserve le souvenir « d'un moment de détente dès l'instant où on comprend la règle du jeu et les cooptations subtiles qui s'y jouent. » À l'heure du choix, la diplomatie lui fait les yeux doux. Il s'envole pour Alger à l'époque de Boumédiène, occupant un poste de deuxième secrétaire de l'Ambassade. « Un matin, on m'envoie au port chercher un certain François Hollande, stagiaire. Une silhouette s'approche, visage poupin, Le Figaro dans la poche... L'énarque parfait. C'était bien lui », se souvient Bernard Bajolet. Son séjour dans la capitale algérienne l'enchante, la mission le fascine.
