Intelligence officers – generally known as ‘spies’ – will not openly admit, even within their own family circles, that they work for an intelligence service. These agencies have neither local offices nor facilities, nor do they visit schools to talk about the daily life and work of their officers. Public media appearances are extremely rare, and it...

At different rhythms and marked by their national contexts, different intelligence services have embarked over the last two decades in different initiatives to promote societal aware...
Public knowledge of both the mission and the powers of the National Intelligence Centre (CNI) are studied in this paper through a survey of 2888 students from 30 universities in Spain. The results confirmed that university students were unaware of the CNI's mission and powers and that their vision of the CNI was of a Law Enforcement Agency with mai...
The use of rescue drones is expected to increase in forthcoming years. However, the success of their implementation through different applications will depend on public acceptance. Studies to date have analyzed public support for the use of drones with various applications, although public acceptance of drones in specific contexts remains to be exp...

La cooperación entre los países europeos en materia de inteligencia no se inicia tan recientemente como podría parecer.

Este artículo describe la evolución de esta...

This article sets out to establish what actually constitutes the Intelligence Community in Spain; t...

After three years of bloody fratricide war the victory of the insurgent forces saw the Spanish Republic turned into an authoritarian regime (totalitarian at the beginning) with General Franco at its head. Franco's dictatorship was not a military dictatorship,...
The threats, the potential enemies, the risks and, consequently, the strategies used in each context to face them have all changed. The comparison by countries between futures civil and military elite shows us the palpable differences that exist among both worlds in these questions. Broadly speaking, a very intense inclination among the university...
