The primary aim of the study is to trace the diachronic processes that have led from the post-war penalisation of subversion and sabotage to today’s criminalisation of the so-called “espionage-related subversion and sabotage.” To specify the research scope, the analysis addresses two questions: (1) What are the arguments for the criminalisation of espionage-related subversion and sabotage in Poland in 2023?, (2) How can the correctness of the criminalisation of espionage-related subversion and sabotage in Poland in 2023 be assessed? The temporal framework spans 1944–2023, beginning with the Decree of the Polish Committee of National Liberation on the Protection of the State of 30 October 1944 and culminating in the amendment to the Criminal Code of 17 August 2023. Methodologically, the study relies mainly on an institutional-legal approach that combines: (a) dogmatic analysis (a descriptive examination of statutory provisions and their application) and (b) historical-comparative analysis (reference to earlier regulations and their evolution). Applying these methods makes it possible to evaluate both the substance of the new offences and their effectiveness and consistency with the goals of state protection and the prevention of espionage-related crime.", "publicationTitle": "Środkowoeuropejskie Studia Polityczne", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2025-12-11", "volume": "", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "99-127", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.14746/ssp.2025.2.6", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/ssp/article/view/47501", "accessDate": "2025-12-16T22:07:30Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "2956-5014", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "pressto.amu.edu.pl", "callNumber": "", "rights": "Prawa autorskie (c) 2025 Lesław Rosicki, Remigiusz Rosicki", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "bezpieczeństwo państwa", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "dywersja", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "polityka kryminalna", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "polityka prawna", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "sabotaż", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "szpiegostwo", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "UVSM9U3L" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2025-12-16T22:07:30Z", "dateModified": "2025-12-16T22:07:30Z" } }, { "key": "GDU8R76G", "version": 29441, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 2514686, "name": "IntelArchive Intelligence Studies Database", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/2514686/items/GDU8R76G", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database/items/GDU8R76G", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 5900238, "username": "yusuf_ozkan", "name": "Yusuf Ozkan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/yusuf_ozkan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Gentry", "parsedDate": "2025-12-08", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "GDU8R76G", "version": 29441, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Culture: A new venue for the politicization of intelligence", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "John A.", "lastName": "Gentry" } ], "abstractNote": "Observers long have believed that the politicization of American intelligence damages the quality and hence the credibility of intelligence.

Drawing on over 30 documented incidents, it examines how financial hardship, psychological instability, and ethnic marginalisation have created openings for foreign recruitment. Using insights from psychology and identity theory, the study shows how personal crises and deep-seated inequality can weaken national loyalty. Iran’s recent focus on low-effort, high-volume recruitment conducted as a rule through platforms like Telegram has proven effective in targeting socially and economically marginalised groups, including ultra-Orthodox communities and immigrants from the former Soviet Union. While the recruits vary in age and background, many share experiences of alienation and instability. In several cases, espionage functioned less as ideological betrayal and more as a desperate bid for meaning, income, or validation. What emerges is not just a pattern of individual failures, but a warning sign of broader social fragmentation.

The structure and function of intelligence oversight is tied to the specific context of a nation, influenced by its unique culture, history, constitutionalism and the prevailing political landscape. This context is continually evolving and adapting to the ever-changing security landscape. These factors, along with the inherent secrecy surrounding intelligence operations, necessitate an examination of prospects and challenges for judicial intelligence oversight. This study sought to establish how judicial intelligence oversight has been operationalised in Kenya; the nature of interactions between the judiciary and intelligence, and the influence of judicial oversight on the execution of the intelligence mandate. The research employed purposive sampling and utilised primary data gathered through key informants interviews and in-depth interviews. Secondary data was derived from a comprehensive literature review, thematically analysed and presented in narrative form. The study established limited public understanding of judicial oversight processes despite Kenya’s robust legal frameworks underpinning such processes. Besides the secrecy of intelligence operations, judicial oversight is restricted by the fact that inquiries are case-specific, making such mechanisms reactive and limited to litigation before the court. Further, it was found that the judiciary has been scrutinising intelligence procedures to determine compliance with legal demands as well as safeguarding intelligence secrets. However, the extent of this scrutiny depends on the prevailing political regime. The research recommends enhanced awareness of judicial oversight mechanisms as well as greater transparency in judicial oversight of intelligence efforts to make them more visible to the public.", "publicationTitle": "The Eastern Africa Journal of Policy and Strategy", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2025-12-11", "volume": "", "issue": "", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "105-117", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://press.gloceps.org/index.php/eajps/article/view/29", "accessDate": "2025-12-16T21:50:55Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "3008-0800", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Judicial Intelligence Oversight in Kenya", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "press.gloceps.org", "callNumber": "", "rights": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Intelligence oversight", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "accountability", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "constitutionalism", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "judiciary", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "secrecy", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "UVSM9U3L" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2025-12-16T21:50:55Z", "dateModified": "2025-12-16T21:50:55Z" } }, { "key": "Z8W7AKAY", "version": 28920, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 2514686, "name": "IntelArchive Intelligence Studies Database", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/2514686/items/Z8W7AKAY", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database/items/Z8W7AKAY", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 5900238, "username": "yusuf_ozkan", "name": "Yusuf Ozkan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/yusuf_ozkan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Lindsay", "parsedDate": "2025-10-15", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "Z8W7AKAY", "version": 28920, "itemType": "book", "title": "Age of Deception: Cybersecurity as Secret Statecraft", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jon R.", "lastName": "Lindsay" } ], "abstractNote": "At the heart of cybersecurity lies a paradox: Cooperation makes conflict possible. In Age of Deception, Jon R. Lindsay shows that widespread trust in cyberspace enables espionage and subversion. While such acts of secret statecraft have long been part of global politics, digital systems have dramatically expanded their scope and scale. Yet success in secret statecraft hinges less on sophisticated technology than on political context.\n\nTo make sense of this, Lindsay offers a general theory of intelligence performance—the analogue to military performance in battle—that explains why spies and hackers alike depend on clandestine organizations and vulnerable institutions. Through cases spanning codebreaking at Bletchley Park during WWII to the weaponization of pagers by Israel in 2024, he traces both continuity and change in secret statecraft. Along the way, he explains why popular assumptions about cyber warfare are profoundly misleading. Offense does not simply dominate defense, for example, because the same digital complexity that expands opportunities for deception also creates potential for self-deception and counterdeception.\n\nProvocative and persuasive, Age of Deception offers crucial insights into the future of secret statecraft in cyberspace and beyond.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2025-10-15", "publisher": "Cornell University Press", "place": "United States", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501783470/age-of-deception/", "accessDate": "2025-12-16T21:46:48Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en-US", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "8XXD789V" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2025-12-16T21:46:48Z", "dateModified": "2025-12-16T21:47:34Z" } }, { "key": "K5JB9PUY", "version": 28916, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 2514686, "name": "IntelArchive Intelligence Studies Database", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/2514686/items/K5JB9PUY", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database/items/K5JB9PUY", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 5900238, "username": "yusuf_ozkan", "name": "Yusuf Ozkan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/yusuf_ozkan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Innes", "parsedDate": "2025-12-12", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "K5JB9PUY", "version": 28916, "itemType": "blogPost", "title": "Document Exploitation in Anglo-American Intelligence", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Michael A.", "lastName": "Innes" } ], "abstractNote": "", "blogTitle": "King’s Centre for the Study of Intelligence", "websiteType": "", "date": "2025-12-12", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://kcsi.uk/kcsi-insights/document-exploitation-in-anglo-american-intelligence", "accessDate": "2025-12-12T12:57:47Z", "ISSN": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en-GB", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "KGU8VLSW" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2025-12-12T12:57:47Z", "dateModified": "2025-12-12T12:58:05Z" } }, { "key": "NKIEJEBQ", "version": 28913, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 2514686, "name": "IntelArchive Intelligence Studies Database", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/2514686/items/NKIEJEBQ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/intelarchive_intelligence_studies_database/items/NKIEJEBQ", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 5900238, "username": "yusuf_ozkan", "name": "Yusuf Ozkan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/yusuf_ozkan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Sanders", "parsedDate": "2025-12-01", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "NKIEJEBQ", "version": 28913, "itemType": "audioRecording", "title": "The KGB tried to recruit me", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "performer", "firstName": "Ian", "lastName": "Sanders" } ], "abstractNote": "Hans de Vreij is a Dutch journalist who has worked in Berlin , Brussels, Geneva and Prague.\n\nWhilst working at the United Nations in Geneva Hans was the subject of attempted recruitment by the KGB to develop an ‘agent of influence’ to disseminate Soviet points of view.\n\nIn addition, they analysed the ‘targeted journalist’ in terms of possible blackmail: ‘kompromat‘ (compromising material).

These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII.\n\nAs members of the OSS, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in the European theater, across enemy lines in occupied China, and in Washington, D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane, and Marlene forged letters and “official” military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs, and even developed rumors for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy.

The model also outlines responses to challenges in the contemporary operational environment, highlighting key focus areas for intelligence community actors across analysis, communication, and capability development. \n\n Second, the intelligence analysis interaction (hourglass) model captures three coupled processes – analysis, aggregated, tailored communication, and reception/absorption among societal actors.

Drawing on the four dimensions of Cultural Intelligence—cognitive, behavioural, motivational, and metacognitive—the study maps these capacities onto transformational, situational, and adaptive leadership models. It codes emergent themes through qualitative content analysis. Evidence from key inflection points—such as the 2019 Türkiye-Libya maritime accord, NATO-facilitated de-escalation efforts, and post-Ukraine-war supply-chain disruptions—suggests that a high cognitive CQ equips Ankara to anticipate rivals’ legal and diplomatic moves, while behavioural CQ enables fluid shifts between naval signalling and conciliatory rhetoric. Motivational CQ appears to sustain engagement despite exclusion from structures like the East Mediterranean Gas Forum, and metacognitive CQ accelerates strategic course corrections. In combination with a transformational–adaptive leadership blend, these competencies expand Türkiye’s bargaining space and preserve its narrative of becoming a regional energy hub. However, persistent trust deficits and maritime jurisdiction disputes still impose structural constraints.
