Abstract

Information sharing is vital to the success of multinational and multi-agency military, humanitarian, and counterterrorism operations. This introductory chapter discusses the importance of information sharing to the success of such operations and the reasons for sharing and for not sharing information. The various organizational and administrative levels through which information sharing takes place are also discussed in order to contextualize the chapters in this volume.

Fußnoten

Joris Voorhoeve, “Eindelijk weet ik waarom er geen luchtsteun kwam” (“Finally I know why there was no air support”), Daily NOS News, 29 June 2015. To make the story complete, Mladic also held a number of Dutch military men hostage, which led to the withholding of NL air support on the very day Srebrenica was invaded.

Recent reports have demonstrated that, in the case of the U.S.–Germany relationship, there has not only been a lack of information sharing but also indications that secret and confidential information was taken away from the highest political level in Germany, which of course is totally inconsistent with information sharing. This is an example of the more general, highly sensitive practice of information collection against very specific targets in allied nations (“friends-on-friends”; Clough 2004: 606).
 
4
Many of the insights that come forward in this introduction essentially originate from Georg Simmel’s seminal work on secrecy that was published in the beginning of the twentieth century.
 
5
There is a certain resemblance with the idea of “sticky” information in management science that points at specific information that is costly to transfer from one unit to another (Von Hippel 1994); of course, there are also matters of intellectual property, legal requirements, pay secrecies, and privacy concerns that may render information sharing even among partnering forces and organizations problematic (Costas and Grey 2014 and elsewhere; see also Wenjing 2011).
 
6
This is also known as the public good dilemma.
 
7
Theoretically, this is the opposite of information sharing and, hence, contains comparable elements, reversed in direction (see Yang and Maxwell 2011).
