« La protection du potentiel économique, scientifique et industriel (PESI): un sursaut identitaire pour le SGRS? Une analyse syntagmatique”

This article questions the position or “identity” of an intelligence agency concerning “economic wars” and its defensive approach, i.e. the Economic, Scientific and Industrial Potential Protection (ESIPP). Does the ESIPP represent a survival opportunity in a global and complex, post second world war, environment (paradigm reversal) for the General Intelligence and Security Service (GISS)? Or does the ESIPP emphasizes a more “genealogical” evolution of its missions and tasks (syntagmatic slip)? We suggest that the GISS has evolved in its knowledge and capacities, adapting its identity into an evolutive and complex threats-environment, leaded by a legal framework which needs to be “revisited”.
