Lo sviluppo della politica di sicurezza e difesa comune dell'Unione Europea e la condivisione dell'intelligence quale opportunità per una nuova Difesa europea

EU defense policy it's a particular policy, defined by membership, goals, and the capabilities of EU members. It’s transnational in nature due to the interdependencies of globalized societies. This gives rise to the need for cooperation and the sharing. Within these areas is the question of the extent to which European intelligence cooperation should also be promoted. This is a particularly sensitive area, form many implications. For this reason, existing approaches to intelligence should be deepened and better developed. The theme of "Intelligence sharing” is an ambitious project for the EU members, hard to achieve, even though it could be considered the most important tool in the fight against the new threats. The topic of this research, in addition to mapping the organisms that are part of these communities (defense and intelligence), is the relies on a framework of policy analysis to structure the challenges of intelligence sharing on the European level. It is argued that the EU's capacity to produce its own security intelligence is very low, depending on the sharing of intelligence by the national agencies. Additionally, it is said that the sharing of police intelligence is much more structured than the sharing of security intelligence. Finally, it is concluded that the European intelligence community welcomes different intelligence cultures within it and focuses its activities on diffuse cooperation that faces the limits of national sovereignty, interoperability deficits, and difficulties in establishing institutional relationships of trust.
