Effectively Diversified Intelligence: A Sisyphean Effort
IJIC’s initiative to dedicate a full issue to challenges and progress in ensuring diversity and inclusion (D&I) in intelligence services from various continents is a welcome and timely initiative.

Neverth…

Mali: The Hot and Cold Relationship Between Military Intervention and Democratic Consolidation
Many African countries are praetorian states in which the armed forces routinely meddle with politics, and hence defy civilian supremacy over the military. Mali—a noncoastal country in West Africa, with a population of 14.5 million inhabitants—is no exception. Since gaining independence from France in 1960, Mali has been a praetorian state, as the armed forces have frequently intervened in politics. As such, Mali has experienced four successful m…

This forum compares and contrasts national experiences in the development of intelligence studies from the perspective of seven countries: France, Japan, Israel, Romania, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The discussion is structured around a comparative framework that emphasizes five core dimensions that, we posit, are essential to the emergence of this subfield: access to relevant government information, institutionalization of …

Intelligence reform in new democracies: Factors Supporting or Arresting Progress
This article examines an important (and most problematic) component of the democratic civil–military relations (CMR) concept (understood in terms of democratic control, effectiveness, and efficiency of the armed forces, police forces, and intelligence agencies). It focuses (1) on the democratization of intelligence, that is finding a proper balance between intelligence effectiveness and transparency, and (2) on what particular factors support or …

The article aims to extend the conceptual breadth of the literature on civil–military relations beyond c…
Romania's Intelligence Community: From an Instrument of Dictatorship to Serving Democracy
Romania's intelligence system has followed a path from serving as an instrument of communist dictatorship to being an effective intelligence community under democratic control. This achievement is notable, considering both the relatively short amount of time for the transition and the foundations of the organization--the Securitate. The transition of the Romanian intelligence community from the Communist Securitate to democratic control and effec…
