Intelligence and national security: ethics, efficacy and accountability

该项目旨在为自由民主国家的安全情报收集和电子数据分析提供一套合乎道德的实践和政策指导方针。在全球恐怖主义和技术先进的威权国家复苏的背景下，有效的情报收集和电子数据分析对自由民主国家的国家安全至关重要。然而，澳大利亚、美国、欧盟等国家的情报机构不仅面临着执行任务的压力，而且还必须应对各种道德挑战，尤其是隐私限制和民主问责制。该项目将为澳大利亚的国家安全政策制定环境、隐私和更广泛的人权辩论做出贡献，为自由民主国家可行的国家安全情报实践提供一套基于证据、道德信息的实践和政策指导方针。

This project aims to generate an ethically informed set of practice and policy guidelines for viable security intelligence collection and analysis of electronic data by liberal democracies. In the context of global terrorism and the resurgence of technologically sophisticated authoritarian states, effective intelligence collection and analysis of electronic data is crucial for the national security of liberal democratic states. Yet intelligence agencies in Australia, United States, European Union and so on, are not only under pressure to perform, but must also meet a variety of ethical challenges, notably privacy constraints and democratic accountability. This project will contribute to Australia's national security policy making environment, and to privacy and broader human rights debates, by providing an evidenced based, ethically informed set of practice and policy guidelines for viable national security intelligence practice in liberal democracies.
