Între Intelligence şi Renseignement. Evoluţii culturale în spaţiul francez
Between Intelligence and Renseignement. Cultural developments in the French space

Summary/Abstract: In the field of security studies, the French culture has been particularly focused on the objective to remove any suspicion of civil society regarding the legal activities of gathering information. The term "intelligence" (borrowed from English) appeared in this context and its introduction has generated debates about the cases of synonymy, especially with renseignement. So, the numerous definitions was formulated in order to avoid the mistrust of the society. In addition, notional fluidity is the main reason for which the term intelligence seems not to have been imposed with authority in the specialized field of security in France.
