"Peacekeeping and Intelligence" is a hardly touched upon issue in military and political studies and deliberations. However, the dramatic events in the former Yugoslavia during the last decade of the previous century, clearly indicate that the process of planning and executing international military peacekeeping operations can only be carried out successfully when supported by adequate and timely intelligence. With this conference, the Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association and the Netherlands Defence College wish to contribute to the ongoing discussions on Intelligence and Peacekeeping.
