Abstract

"« Nous sommes en guerre », insistent les responsables politiques de tous bords. Peut-être, mais contre qui ? Le mantra de la « guerre contre le terrorisme » trouve son origine dans une histoire ancienne, et souterraine, qui a inspiré des générations de militaires français et façonné la Ve République : celle de la doctrine de la guerre révolutionnaire. Surnommée la « Septième arme » par ses partisans, cette doctrine a été théorisée pendant la guerre d’Indochine et mise en œuvre en Algérie et au Cameroun dans les années 1950 et 1960. Elle s’est ensuite répandue dans le reste du monde : aux États-Unis, en Amérique latine et en Afrique, où elle a notamment inspiré les génocidaires du Rwanda. C’est l’histoire de cette doctrine méconnue, qui maquille la guerre en simple « maintien de l’ordre », que retrace ce récit vertigineux."

Abstract

This new discipline proposes a systematic understanding of the customs, moral attitudes, and cultures of foreign populations to enhance the efficacy of national security initiatives. The book offers an in-depth analysis and conceptualization of a much needed intelligence discipline, Sociocultural intelligence (SOCINT). SOCINT means observing and analyzing such elements as the land, the people, and their communities. Customs, moral attitudes, and culture of foreign populations are integrated into the analysis of the information gathered to maximize the efficiency of security initiatives. A key tool in intelligence and covert operations, SOCINT can mostly be used for non-lethal operations that require a thorough understanding of networks and systems. Simply, by understanding the behavioral aspects of relationships and systems, we will have a greater opportunity for 'success' by knowing who, what, where, when, why, and how to influence within the systems themselves. Not only a tool for war fighting, SOCINT is needed for multiple uses, such as law enforcement operations and business. Written by an international expert, this unique book combines theoretical analysis with practical application to present and advocate for the systematic use of SOCINT to students and practitioners in intelligence studies, intelligence communities, and national security. The Continuum Intelligence Studies Series presents new research to enhance both the study and practice of intelligence. The volumes in CITS will focus on theory, concepts, teaching methods, new research, methodologies, best practices, and more across all fields of intelligence studies. The focus will be on contemporary issues and new research. Composed of coursebooks, monographs, practical guides, and reference works written by scholars and experts, the series is geared toward students in intelligence and security studies, as well as practitioners and policymakers.
