ABSTRACT Seychelles faces pressure to reshape its security and intelligence structure, little changed for forty years, built to address the internal security interests of its former ruler France-Albert René. His outlook persists in diluted form under his successors. Seychelles faces new external challenges. A big risk is abuse of its position as a major off-shore financial centre. But Seychelles’ archipelagic nature gives other transnational challenges similar to other Indian Ocean island states and littoral countries like Kenya. These involve maritime security, fisheries, counter-smuggling and piracy. These are compounded by growing major power naval activity in the Indian Ocean. Much of this is adversarial placing Seychelles in a strategic cockpit in which it has few assets to deploy and deficient intelligence capability to analyse. Seychelles challenge is to evolve its intelligence capabilities when time is not in its side.

塞舌尔：海上管理情报

摘要塞舌尔面临着重塑其安全和情报结构的压力，该结构四十年来几乎没有变化，其目的是解决其前统治者法国-阿尔伯特·勒内的内部安全利益。在他的继任者的领导下，他的观点仍然以稀释的形式存在。塞舌尔面临新的外部挑战。一个很大的风险是滥用其作为主要离岸金融中心的地位。但塞舌尔的群岛性质给其他跨国挑战带来了类似于其他印度洋岛国和肯尼亚等沿海国家的挑战。这些涉及海上安全、渔业、反走私和海盗活动。印度洋上不断增长的大国海军活动使这些情况更加复杂。其中大部分是敌对的，将塞舌尔置于战略驾驶舱，在那里它几乎没有可部署的资产，而且缺乏情报分析能力。
