Aldrich* During a period of twelve months, lasting between July 2003 and July 2004, Whitehall and Westminster produced no less than four different intelligence enquiries. Each examined matters related to the Iraq War and the ‘War on Terror’. Although the term ‘unprecedented’ is perhaps over-used, we can safely say that such an intensive period of enquiry has not occurred before in the history of the UK intelligence community. The immediate parallels seemed to be in other countries, since similar investigations into ‘intelligence failure’ have been in train in the United States, Israel, Australia and even Denmark. These various national enquiries have proceeded locally and largely unconscious of each other existence. However, the number of different enquiries in the UK and the extent of the media interest recalls the ‘season of enquiry’ that descended upon the American intelligence community in 1975 and 1976.1 Although the intensity of the debate about connections between intelligence and the core executive was considerable, the overall results were less than impressive.

  • Al-Qaeda's “Single Narrative” and Attempts to Develop Counter
    Al-Qaeda’s “Single Narrative” and Attempts to Develop Counter- Narratives: The State of Knowledge Alex P. Schmid ICCT Research Paper January 2014 This Research Paper seeks to map efforts to counter the attraction of al Qaeda’s ideology. The aim is to bring together and synthesise current insights in an effort to make existing knowledge more cumulative. It is, however, beyond the scope of this paper to test existing counter-narratives on their impact and effectiveness or elaborate in detail a new model that could improve present efforts. However, it provides some promising conceptual elements for a new road map on how to move forward, based on a broad review and analysis of open source literature. About the Author Alex P. Schmid is a Visiting Research Fellow at the International Centre for Counter Terrorism – The Hague, and Director of the Terrorism Research Initiative (TRI), an international network of scholars who seek to enhance human security through collaborative research. He was co-editor of the journal Terrorism and Political Violence and is currently editor-in-chief of Perspectives on Terrorism, the online journal of TRI. Dr. Schmid held a chair in International Relations at the University of St. Andrews (Scotland) where he was, until 2009, also Director of the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence (CSTPV). From 1999 to 2005 he was Officer-in-Charge of the Terrorism Prevention Branch at the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in the rank of a Senior Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Officer. From 1994 to 1999, Dr. Schmid was an elected member of the Executive Board of ISPAC (International Scientific and Professional Advisory Council) of the United Nations' Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme.

  • Who's Making UK Foreign Policy?
    Who’s making UK foreign policy? PAUL WILLIAMS* Foreign policy is not made in a political vacuum but is shaped by domestic factors (such as public opinion), globalizing pressures (such as communications technologies), integrative tendencies (especially within the European Union) and transnational forces (such as lobbying from NGOs). The logic underlying the UK’s foreign policy process, however, has changed remarkably little over the past century. Ideally, ministers, officials and outsiders with relevant expert- ise should formulate policy on the basis of informed discussion of the possible alternatives and after taking due account of the relevant history and precedents, the positions of the institutions involved and the legality of what is proposed. Once formulated, policy needs to be interpreted by official agents and imple- mented in order to achieve the desired objectives. During all three phases, policy also needs to be presented or ‘sold’ to a variety of audiences both at home and abroad. Formulation, interpretation, implementation and presenta- tion are thus integral stages of the policy-making process; indeed, it is often difficult to judge where one stops and another begins. The combination of actors, institutions and external pressures involved in this process vary depend- ing on the issue in question, but this ideal of how to make policy appears to have remained constant. It is also possible to identify some general characteristics of the process in the UK that apply irrespective of which political party is in office. First, while the same goals and commitments can persist for long periods, foreign policy- making is best conceptualized as a dynamic process that exists in a dialectical relationship with the outside world.

  • Chair's Introduction
    Governance statement I have also met with a number of our major customers. I see it as an important part of the Chair’s role to have a strong relationship with key customers that complements the depth and breadth of the Group’s management relationships, through a programme of regular senior-level meetings. I intend to develop this role further, and am committed to supporting the continued improving momentum of dialogue with our primary customers. We have been pleased to welcome customers to participate in a number of contract reviews at the Board during the year. I have also enjoyed meeting many of Babcock’s shareholders to hear, directly from them, their views, concerns and Ruth Cairnie priorities. The Board and I are clear about Chair the importance of corporate governance and its role in the long-term success of the Group. Purpose and culture Chair’s introduction At the Board we recognise the essential role that a clear purpose and a strong corporate culture play in assuring the I am pleased to present my first Group’s long-term success. During the year the Board has worked to clarify Chair’s report on the work of the Babcock’s purpose, which we describe on Babcock Board. Since joining the page 10, and we expect to do more on Board in April last year, I have focused this over the coming year. This purpose is underpinned by the corporate culture, much time engaging with Babcock’s based on strong values that I found in stakeholders in order to get a real evidence across my induction visits.

  • Editorial: What Price Austerity?
    Editorial.qxd 11/17/05 6:39 PM Page 3 3 Editorial What price austerity? Whilst still in opposition, in August 2009, the then Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne, argued for what he called ‘progressive’ and ‘fundamental’ reform of public services. The alternative, according to the Chancellor in waiting, was ‘deep cuts in the quality of those services’. Praying in aid Tony Blair and Alan Milburn, who were by then advocating something similar, he said that what was true ‘in the years of plenty’ was doubly true in an age of austerity. Now installed, Chancellor Osborne has set about his austere task with a will. As the comprehensive spending review looks to slice further tens of billions from departmental budgets, the cuts are already scything through public services round the country. Local government workers in their tens of thousands have received Section 118 redundancy notices, as have their counterparts in the Civil Service and sundry quangos. Public service, and all its outworks, is being chopped hard. Osborne shows little awareness of how adversely his cuts impact the private sector. The likelihood of a double-dip recession, not to say a full-blown slump, seems to worry him hardly at all. It does, however, worry more responsible, and experienced, commentators. Joseph Stiglitz, for example, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, warns there is a ‘wave of austerity’ building throughout Europe (see box). He makes the compelling point that, as so many countries cut back on spending prematurely, ‘global aggregate demand will be lowered and growth will slow – even perhaps leading to a double-dip recession’.

  • How Spies Think – Spy Chief David Omand
    How Spies Think – Spy Chief David Omand Tuesday, November 24, 2020 TRT (Total Running Time): 1:01:12 ANDREW HAMMOND: Hi, and welcome to SpyCast from the secret files of the International spy Museum in Washington, DC. I'm Dr. Andrew Hammond, the museum's historian and curator. Every week, SpyCast brings you interesting conversations from authors, scholars and practitioners who live in the world of global espionage. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns email us at [email protected]. That’s [email protected]. Also, if you like what you hear, and even if you don't, please take a minute to review us on iTunes or whatever platform you may be listening from. We're always looking for ways to make SpyCast better and you can help. ANDREW HAMMOND: Welcome to this week's edition of SpyCast. This week we're looking at “How Spies Think” and we're doing so with Sir David Omand. So, I'm really pleased that I got the opportunity to speak to David because a professor of my graduate school, said that he was the smartest person whom he had ever met. And he had met a lot of smart people, he had done his PhD at Cambridge. Another endorsement for Sir David comes from Rodric Braithwaite. So, Sir Rodric was the last British ambassador to the former Soviet Union, and he said that there is no one more qualified to speak about British intelligence than David Omand. DAVID OMAND: In 1969, I graduated from Cambridge University. I decided not to pursue an academic career with getting a doctorate.

    Briefings for Brexit Podcast – Professor Gwythian Prins, November 15, 2018. GWYTHIAN PRINS: I'm Professor Gwythian Prins, Emeritus Research Professor at the London School of Economics, but a member of the editorial committee of Briefings for Brexit, and also the academic board member of Veterans for Britain. INTERVIEWER: And Professor Prins, you were a member of the Chief of the Defence Staff's Strategic Advisory Panel from 2009 to 2015. Thank you very much indeed for talking to the Briefings for Brexit podcast series today. As you say, you are on the editorial board of B4B. Let's begin with today. Theresa May is, as we speak, giving a statement to the House of Commons on her Brexit deal. Your reaction to it? GWYTHIAN PRINS: Well my reaction is that the date of today is not actually the 15th November 2018. It is the 10th May 1940 because I think that the collapse which has begun in this government with the resignation of Dominic Raab will be very difficult to stop and I hope that it will not stop, because what is now important is that we have a prime minister manifestly in office but not in power, who must now be replaced with somebody who can deliver the will of the people. We need now to do what should always have happened in the first place, which is not negotiate with the EU, because we cannot negotiate with the EU as we will discuss in just a moment, it’s in the nature of the EU that it cannot negotiate.
