Von der Leyenβs 'intelligence cell' will only fuel fragmentation and mistrust | Euractiv
The need to improve intelligence capacity is undeniable. But von der Leyenβs chosen method reflects a familiar instinct: using crisis logic to expand the Commissionβs authority
The Commissionβs new βintelligence cellβ could backfire, pulling analysis into a political space and making EU states share less, not more. Our Euractiv piece explains why trust, not expansion, is the real bottleneck. @dvanp.bsky.social @evamichaels.bsky.social

Many thanks Lewis. Oops, I think we based this point on your (excellent) PhD thesis π
. I guess we meant foundational not in a historical way but more in terms of what have become common practices.

In this article we:
- Make a distinction between OSINT, OSINF, and OSINV
- Trace the development of OSINT as a community of practice
- Argue against the establishment of a dedicated government agency
- Explore the implications of OSINT's rise on public understanding of security today
