Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, intelligence has experienced a real upheaval, in France and abroad. While some wondered about its future at the end of the Cold War, the advent of globalized terrorism and the numerous attacks on the territory of several Western countries have put the intelligence services at the heart of defense and security activities. In France, new services have emerged while others have undergone major restructuring, which has changed the complex architecture of public intelligence policy. The many laws adopted between 2006 and 2019 have increased the prerogatives of the services. The activity of the intelligence services undermines many rights and freedoms, which nevertheless enjoy enhanced legal protection. For several decades, only the executive branch controlled the activity of the services. However, the desire for greater transparency on public action has led to the development of new controls, even for a public policy as sensitive as that of intelligence. Thus, the Government has new tools, Parliament has established specifics institutions and now the judge intervenes to control the activity of intelligence services. The organization of intelligence control is as complex as the structure of the services, but their interlocking makes it possible to guarantee a complete system. ; Depuis le début du XXIème siècle, le renseignement a connu un véritable bouleversement, en France comme à l'étranger. Alors que certains s'interrogeaient sur son devenir à la fin de la Guerre froide, l'avènement d'un terrorisme mondialisé et les nombreux attentats commis sur le territoire de plusieurs pays occidentaux ont remis les services de renseignement au cœur des activités de défense et de sécurité nationale. En France, de nouveaux services sont apparus alors que d'autres ont connu d'importantes restructurations, modifiant ainsi une architecture déjà complexe de la politique publique du renseignement. Les nombreuses lois adoptées entre 2006 et 2019 ont augmenté les prérogatives des ...

Where "national security" comes from? From the origins of this extraordinarily ambiguous concept, we do not know much, if not what historical literature has long established, i.e. it is an American product of the early Cold War, inspired by the experience of the global conflict and dictated by confrontation with the Soviet Union, accompanying the integration of what was precisely called the "national security apparatus". Without denying the importance of this pivotal moment, this article aims to open a new track, looking at what is happening discreetly, a quarter of a century earlier, in the two smaller armed forces intelligence services, the Military Intelligence Division (MID) and the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). On the basis of specific lessons learned from the experience of 'modern war', there is a definitive, theoretical and practical break, with four central distinctions in military thinking: war and peace, military and civilian, interior and outside, friend and enemy. Our assumption is that, in doing so, the intelligence services are silently but concretely paving the way for this form of government rationality that will soon be referred to by the concept of 'national security'. ; International audience ; Where "national security" comes from?
