Professor Maria Gabriella Pasqualini is not only one of the best (if not THE best) Italian intelligence historian. She is also a passionate photographer (the pictures you see are hers).

Since I started working on “Intelligence & Interview”, now arrived at its 15th issue, I had the pleasure to meet extraordinary persons. All of them are enthusiastic, deep thinkers, and valuable experts in their fields. However, Professor Pasqualini is really a perfect expression of what lead me to embark on this project in the first place. Read more

“Intelligence & Interview” #17 is honored to present you a wonderful interview with an exceptional guest, Dr. William Spracher, Professor of Strategic Intelligence and Director of the Writing Center at the National Intelligence University! The first time I saw Professor Spracher, he didn’t know it. It was my first time at the International Studies Association convention in Baltimore, 2017.

Since then, I had the pleasure of participating in ISA regularly, and Professor Spracher was always there. Read more

It is not aimed to revolutionize a field, but it is based on the idea that we should start to recognize more the role of different perspectives from a national, cultural, and linguistic standpoint. Recently, an interview triggered a long discussion with a friend of mine on the utility of this conception. Read more

When the big flooding hit several parts of Germany this month, the military was re-quested immediately to help with about 850 soldiers and special equipment to clear streets, secure supplies, help with the damages and prevent new floodings (Bun-deswehr, 2021a). The army is allowed to support civil organisations during natural disasters like floodings or forest fires (Bundeswehr 2021b) but is not present in maintaining internal order like it is in other countries. The debate on whether it is necessary to change that has been going on for a while and the question will be discussed critically in this article.... Read more

Abstract: European intelligence cooperation is the most important weapon in the fight against the new threats in the 27 member states.
