澳大利亚的情报改革:问题、原因及启示OACHSSCDCSTPCD

[Research purpose]It is of great academic value and strategic importance to study Australian intelligence.The2017 Independ-ent Intelligence Review is the most important intelligence review in Australia in recent years,and a study of Australian intelligence reform based on it can deepen the understanding of Australian intelligence.[Research method]Textual analysis of the 2017 Independent Intelli-gence Review report and other documents is conducted,using literature research methods.It sorts out the main elements of intelligence re-form in Australia,identifies the main problems with the reform and analyzes the causes.[Research conclusion]The study finds that there is a functional conflict between the different Australian departments over intelligence integration,and the Australian government refuses parliamentary operational oversight for inappropriate reasons,with the former being largely caused by inappropriate and inadequate transfers of intelligence policy,and political control and secrecy concerns being the main reasons for the latter.The analysis reveals that Australia's intelligence work is relatively centralized and heavily rely on its international allies.In this context,the politicization of domestic intelli-gence and the negative perception of security abroad in Australia are mutually reinforcing in a double helix structure.
