Intelligence and Security in the Netherlands and Belgium
This study compares the defence and national security of Belgium and the Netherlands. It shows a remarkable amount of parallel evolutions and events that shaped the securitization of the Netherlands and Belgium. Both countries faced many common security and defence challenges, which they dealt with in their own way but still at times very similar. Such comparison offers insight into how the proximity and similar development of the Low Countries p…
Plan B(ruxellles)
This essay uses the official reports as well as sources from the intelligence services to provide a clearer picture of the working circumstances of the Belgian intelligence and security services and the pressure they were under to deal with the challenges posed by violent radicalisation and terrorist plots since the emergence of the foreign fighters phenomenon. It will be shown how mounting pressure from the rapidly expanding threat exacerbated t…
Belgian Intelligence Sigint Operations
This study allows a look at the conduct of the more intrusive aspects of intelligence collection by the relatively small but strictly regulated services of a parliamentary democracy. The research looks in detail at the signals intelligence and surveillance operations of Belgian intelligence for the period 2010-2016, as regulated by the so-called BIM-law, and the sigint conducted by military intelligence. Preceded by a historical background that s…
DDR Spionage
The accessibility of the archives of the East German Ministry for State Security (Ministerium für Staatssicherheit; MfS or Stasi) puts at the disposal of researchers not only a rich and valuable source: about the East German foreign intelligence service and secret police, but also, thanks to records of the Stasi's foreign espionage activities, a wealth of information about intelligence services elsewhere—information that would not be available ot…
War of Nerves
The terror threat emanating from Daesh-inspired violent radicalization has made the vulnerability of soft targets and the means to defend them a pressing security challenge. Belgium responded to the threat by deploying the army to help protect the public space against terrorist attacks. This article explores the Belgian case of a counterterrorism mission by the military on home soil, but also looks at the wider security challenges posed by an asy…
Two ancient intelligence failure post-mortems
This article looks at two ancient intelligence postmortems, one pertaining to intelligence failure in the Second Anglo-Dutch War in 1666, the other from Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798. Both documents deal with wartime naval intelligence, and allow to put the practice of intelligence failure into historical perspective, study the nature of intelligence in these times, and to see that not only were the difficulties of intelligence analysis si…
For Belgian Eyes Only
Since the installation of a standing review committee to oversee Belgium’s two intelligence services, one of the most important aspects of intelligence work the committee was to watch over has been the coordination of and cooperation between the services. This article offers an historical perspective of cooperation in the field of security and intelligence, with a focus on the modalities by which coordination and cooperation have been governed un…
Indications and warning in Belgium
The terrorist attacks in France and Belgium of 2015–2016 that occurred while these countries were in a heightened state of alert raise questions about indications and warning methodology as well as effectiveness of the blanket-protection deployment of security services assisted even by the military. Response and perhaps even more anticipation may require strategic rethinking in light of the predatory attacks that target the most vulnerable spots …
