DIŞ KAYNAK KULLANIMI YOLUYLA İSTİHBARAT TEMİNİ VE ÖZEL İSTİHBARAT ŞİRKETLERİNİN YAPISAL ANALİZİ-YÜKLENİCİ ŞİRKETLER
Son yarım yüzyılda, ekonomik ve siyasi küreselleşme, bilişim ve iletişim teknolojisindeki gelişmeler, internetin insan yaşamına enterasyonu (nesnelerin interneti), insanlığı çok farklı bir dünya ile karşı karşıya bırakmıştır. Bu dönemde, kamu istihbarat otoriteleri tarafından tespit edilen terör saldırılarına ilişkin değişen temel algılar, ticari kuruluşların istihbarat toplama konusunda ön plana çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Özel İstihbarat Şirketlerinin (ÖİŞ) günümüzde resmi istihbarat kurumlarının dikkate değer bir tamamlayıcısı haline geldiği, kolaylıkla iddia edilebilir. Tamamen ticari amaçlar için çalışan ve teorik olarak standart bir ticari kuruluştan herhangi bir farkı bulunmayan ÖİŞ, siyasi karar vericiler için alternatif istihbarat temin kaynağı haline dönüşmüştür. Günümüzde ÖİŞ, çok uluslu şirketlerin karmaşık küresel ticari faaliyetlerini analiz etmenin yanı sıra, dünyanın çeşitli bölgelerindeki ekonomik ve siyasi olaylar hakkında jeopolitik danışmanlık hizmeti de sunmaktadır. Ancak, tüm dünyada çok çeşitli alanlarda hizmet veren ÖİŞ’nin faaliyet sınırları ve görev kapsamları arasında kavramsal olarak bir netlik bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, ÖİŞ’lerinin diğer post-modern askeri temelli taahhüt şirketlerine göre yapısal farklılıklarını vurgulamak ve misyonları çerçevesinde görev kapsamının genel kabul görecek bir biçimde daha açık tanımlanması ve sınıflandırılması için bir model oluşturmaktır. Sonuç olarak, bu eğilimin işlevselliği ve nihai başarısı ÖİŞ’lerinin görev, yetki ve sorumluluklarının netleştirilmesine ve resmi istihbarat teşkilatları ile uyumlu çalışabilecekleri yasal altyapının oluşturulmasına bağlıdır.

OUTSOURCING INTELLIGENCE AND CONCEPTUAL MODELLING OF PRIVATE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES-CONTRACTORS
Transforming perceptions of terrorist attacks identified by public intelligence authorities in the last half century have led commercial entities to burst into prominence for intelligence gathering. It can easily be asserted that some of Private Intelligence Agencies (PIAs) have evolved into a remarkable complement of official intelligence institutions. Operating with purely trading motives and hypothetically no distinction from a standard commercial enterprise, PIAs are organized as an alternative intelligence gathering institutions for political decision makers. Today, PIAs provide also geopolitical consultancy about regional economic and political events at some parts of the world as well as analysing the complex global commercial activities of multinational corporations. However, there is a conceptual uncertainty between the operational limitations and task scope of PIAs that serve in a wide range of activities all around the world. The primary aim of this study is to emphasize the conceptual differences of PIAs compared to other post-modern military based contracting companies and to model for a better classification of task scope within the framework of their mission among themselves. Consequently, the functionality and ultimate success of this tendency largely depends on the clarification of the tasks, authorities and responsibilities of PIAs and the establishment of legal infrastructure in which they can work in harmony with the official intelligence agencies.
