Summary/Abstract: Present developments in the intelligence realm reveal a massive reconceptualization perspective, mainly due to the ‘openness’ paradigm identified in generic terms with OSINT. General open system theories emerging from physics some forty years ago had induced a need for new models, paradigms and settings. Such a process had begun in the Euro- Atlantic area some decades ago and any nation-state depend on an integration process of the intelligence / OSINT dimension. The first step taken into account in the present paper is to search for a sound conceptual basis whose flexibility allows a coherent integration process. The present considerations take up a topic about ‘intelligence’ with a special focus on the Romanian case.
