Abstract

Abstract Adopting an analytically eclectic approach that draws on theories of realist bargaining, identity, and socialization, this article investigates the early Cold War origins of the Five Eyes intelligence grouping (the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand). An understanding of identity grounded in culture suggests a natural process of international intelligence community building, but this was not the case with the Five Eyes. The formation of the grouping was not preordained. Although Anglo-Saxonism was a necessary condition, it was not sufficient. In addition to being able to provide valuable sites for signals intelligence collection, aspiring members had to be seen as staunchly anti-Communist (and therefore politically trustworthy) by the United States in order to become full members of this exclusive community. Early postwar concerns over the political loyalties and secrecy protection regime of the Australian government prompted the British to initiate a process of socialization aimed at bolstering its affiliate's security institutions and practices and guaranteeing its own access to U.S. secrets.

为什么是五只眼睛?多边情报集团形成过程中的权力与身份
本文采用兼收并收的分析方法,借鉴现实主义讨价还价、身份认同和社会化理论,研究了冷战早期五眼情报组织(美国、加拿大、英国、澳大利亚和新西兰)的起源。对建立在文化基础上的身份认同的理解表明,建立国际情报界是一个自然的过程,但“五眼联盟”的情况并非如此。这个集团的形成并不是预先注定的。虽然盎格鲁-撒克逊主义是必要条件,但不是充分条件。除了能够为信号情报收集提供有价值的地点外,有抱负的成员必须被美国视为坚定的反共分子(因此在政治上值得信赖),才能成为这个排外团体的正式成员。战后早期对澳大利亚政府的政治忠诚和保密制度的担忧促使英国启动了一项社会化进程,旨在加强其附属机构的安全机构和做法,并保证自己能够获得美国的机密。
