Greek Intelligence Service (NIS-EYP): Past, Present and Future
John M. Nomikos
Abstract
The end of the Cold War more than a decade ago created a world in
which the relative stability between the two superpowers has disappeared.
On the other side, the 9/11 terrorist acts in US and consequently in Spain (11/03/2003) and in UK (07/07/2005) exercised a lot of pressure on the intelligences services to adjust to new threats by looking their past and preparing for the future. Without exception, the Greek Intelligence Service (NIS-EYP) is restructuring its tasks in order to be capable of confronting new threats and protect the Greek national security. This article analyzes the historical process of NIS-EYP, points out the new responsibilities of NISEYP (Intelligence Council, Intelligence Bill) and makes suggestions for the future challenges that the Greek intelligence Service has to face in the
21st century.
