Information, this “talisman of power”, as someone wonderfully said, is sought at all the levels of the global social system, a sine qua non in any field of human activity, and especially in the military, where intelligence is defined as information meant for action. Security and intelligence are two terms that are present today more than ever in both political discourse and public opinion due to the change of attitude and reconsideration of these domains following the turning point in September 2001. The state, as the main security generator of the nation, needs the services provided by intelligence more than ever, its actional result being certainly determined by its functional dimension. Today, when over democratic societies looms not only the threat of foreign military aggression but also the risks related to terrorism, organised crime, illegal trafficking in human beings, weapons and other goods, and the development of some regional conflicts, intelligence services should consider the new features of the information society and redefine their objectives, strategies and doctrines to perform the fundamental role of collecting and analysing information regarding these possible threats as well as that of assessing risks. Information, in whatever form, is part of the arsenal of new asymmetrical conflicts, and the social recognition of the usefulness of intelligence does not need to be proven. However, it should be remodelled to meet the new characteristics of the security environment that is increasingly complex and unpredictable. That is why it is necessary to reconsider the role and weight of intelligence services in the decision-making process – the indissoluble link between intelligence and decision –, the quantity and quality of its products supporting a political action in favour of the fundamental interests of the state. 7 Romanian Military Thinking ~ 1/2013 Whether they represent a form of the state power or, as stated by other theorists, only a means that is necessary to exercise it, having intelligence services and engaging them in an effective manner represent the key to success in identifying these new forms of threat as well as the methods to prevent them. Even if there is no reverse projection of security values, more often than not, the nation is not aware of the success of intelligence and of its contribution to the nation stability and security, but it is very sensitive to and affected by information failures, with unpredictable effects on the political, social and even economic aspects. Intelligence culture, a new syntagm that has gained authority in everyday life lately, finds its expression, in the military, as a complex of norms, concepts, values, traditions, beliefs and ethical practices that help preparing the military personnel to effectively use information and information products in exercising own prerogatives. Certainly, intelligence culture, understood and accepted in the broader context of security culture, can be achieved only through proper education and training, employing methods that are appropriate to the intended goals and standards. In this context, defence intelligence education, a domain having a long tradition, continuous evolution and remarkable regeneration potential, configured for an optimal didactic interaction, has succeeded in providing complex and effective educational services. Specific educational institutions, permanently impregnated with the attribute of modernity, are currently adapted to meet the requirements related to the education and professional development of experts in this field of activity. The desire to stand out, to have a high status, and to achieve academic recognition within the Romanian military education system represents only natural and justified aspirations that are certainly supported by the results achieved under the imperative of providing highly professionalised end products, capable of meeting the increasingly complex requirements in the current context that is strongly marked by profound paradigm shifts in national and international security. @ Colonel Dr Mircea T~NASE English version by Diana Cristiana LUPU 8 Editorial Intelligence pour sécurité ssurer la sécurité nationale est indispensable à l’existence et au fonctionnement normal de toute société et les renseignements A jouent un rôle essentiel

    Journal of Anglo-Turkish Relations, Volume 2, Number 1, January 2021 Boşcan, Liliana Elena. “Activity of the Special Operation Executive in Romania via Turkey, 1943 – 1944”, Journal of Anglo-Turkish Relations, Vol. 2, No. 1, (January 2021), pp. 11-23. Activity of the Special Operation Executive in Romania via Turkey, 1943 - 1944 Liliana Elena Boșcan1 Abstract The Anschluss of March 1938 marks the point at which Hitler’s designs for Europe became clearer to Britain and greater prominence was given to considerations about Romania. Between 1938 and 1941 Britain’s only weapon against German ambitions in countries which fell into Hitler’s orbit were military subversive operations — the destruction of the oilfields and the interdiction of supply routes by the Danube and the rail network — but S.O.E. ((Special Operation Executive) failed. Between 1941 and 1944, the S.O.E. (Special Operation Executive) activity was centred on the revival of wireless contacts with Iuliu Maniu, head of the National Peasant Party, aimed at persuading through him Marshal Ion Antonescu to abandon the Axis and the provision of a channel of communication of armistice terms by the Allies (Autonomous Mission, December 1943). The S.O.E. has taken steps to create a reliable communication channel between S.O.E. residents in Istanbul and Bucharest. A network was made through Turkey legations or through emissaries sent to Istanbul, Ankara and Cairo, or by radio broadcast and by agents launched with parachute. Keywords: S.O.E., Romanian-Turkish Relations, Oil, Balkans, World War II 1. Introduction In April 1938, Admiral Sir Hugh Sinclair, the Head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (S.I.S.

    International Conference KNOWLEDGE-BASED ORGANIZATION Vol. XXVII No 1 2021 COOPERATION PLANS BETWEEN SOE AND NKVD REGARDING THE ROMANIAN AREA DURING JANUARY-MAY 1944 Marian ZIDARU Black Sea House Association, Constanța, Romania [email protected] Abstract: The main S.O.E aim seems to have been the utilization of political circles in an endeavour to overthrow the government and get Romania out of the war or at least to bring about the removal of its array from the Russians front, and to deny the national resources to Germany. The USSR has been constant in its disinclination to play with Maniu or associates itself with British planes until they are convinced that some concrete contribution at their war aim would results. They would however be ready to discuss unconditional surrender with the emissary of the Romanian government, capable of putting it into effect. The evolution of these SOE plans will be presented in this article. Keywords: SOE, NKVD, Romania, Antonescu, Maniu 1. Introduction V. D. representative said that they saw no SOE and NKVD had an operative base in difference between the policies of Romania made up of agents and Antonescu and Maniu and that in fact what collaborators. At a meeting, S.O.E. – the Romanians want to be a guarantee from Foreign Office in February 1941, the Russia that the latter would give to representatives of S.O.E. informed that after Romania a large slab of Russian territory in the departure of the members of the return for a vague promise that a successful Bucharest diplomatic mission, their coup d’état would be brought about.

  • Bandits and the State Unresolved Disputes in Southeast Asia
    The Newsletter | No.78 | Autumn 2017 24 | The Review Bandits and the State If clothes make the man then we can say that the clothes of bandits came in all shapes and sizes. There was no such thing as the typical bandit, no one size fits all. Some bandits neatly fit Eric Hobsbawm’s formula for social bandits who robbed the rich and gave to the poor and who lived among and protected peasant communities. Others, and probably most, simply looked out for themselves, plundering both rich and poor. Some bandits were career professionals, but most were simply amateurs who took up banditry as a part-time job to supplement meagre legitimate earnings. While some bandits formed large permanent gangs, even armies numbering into the thousands, other gangs were ad hoc and small, usually only numbering in the tens or twenties. Most small gangs disbanded after a few heists. Many of the larger, more permanent gangs tended to operate in remote areas far away from the seats of government, but some gangs, usually the smaller impermanent ones, also operated in densely populated core areas. Although some bandits had political ambitions and received recognition and legitimacy from the state, most simply remained thugs and criminals throughout their careers. None of these categories, however, were mutually exclusive, as roles – like clothes – often changed according to circumstances. Reviewer: Robert Antony, Guangzhou University Reviewed title: who hailed from south China’s Qinzhou area in what is never became imperial bandits, but instead remained Bradley Camp Davis. 2017 now Guangxi province.
