Abstract

IJIC’s initiative to dedicate a full issue to challenges and progress in ensuring diversity and inclusion (D&I) in intelligence services from various continents is a welcome and timely initiative. To be sure, a zeitgeist of D&I policies emerged since the end of the Cold War and the terrorist attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001—which has paved the way for efforts toward diversifying intelligence agencies throughout the world. Nevertheless, despite progress, countries have yet to achieve a de facto and de jure routinization of D&I practices vis-à-vis intelligence. Much needs to be done toward effectively diversified intelligence, which, like intelligence transformation, involves a continuum of concerted, multi-faceted, political and institutional processes—a rather onerous task in intelligence agencies’ heavily bureaucratic environments.

摘要

伊吉克的倡议将一个完整的问题专门用于确保来自各大洲的情报服务的多样性和包容性 (D&I) 的挑战和进展，这是一个受欢迎和及时的倡议。可以肯定的是，自冷战结束和 2001 年 9 月 11 日美国发生恐怖袭击以来，D&I 政策的时代精神出现了——这为全球情报机构的多样化铺平了道路。然而，尽管取得了进展，但各国尚未实现 D&I 实践相对于情报的事实上和法律上的常规化。要实现有效的智能多样化，还有很多工作要做，这与智能转型一样，涉及协调一致、多方面、
