Guide to Document Security Markings and Distribution Statements Used by NATO and NATO Member Nations


Book Description

This report presents the results of a survey made by the AGARD Technical Information Panel of current security classification and other markings which NATO and the NATO Member Nations apply to their documentation to give it a proper degree of protection and, if necessary, limit its distribution. The purpose of the report, which is informal in character and intended to supplement official rules and regulations (not replace them), is to inform all those whose duties involve the distribution, custody, and use of such documents of the results of the survey so that the intentions of the publishing agencies/countries are properly and more widely understood and respected.







The European Security and Defense Policy


Book Description

The emergence of the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) in the last two-thirds of the 1990s and continuing into the new century, has been a complex process intertwining politics, economics, national cultures, and numerous institutions. This book provides an essential background for understanding how security issues as between NATO and the European Union are being posed for the early part of the 21st century, including the new circumstances following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. This study should be of interest to those interested in the evolution of U.S.-European relations, especially in, but not limited to, the security field; the development of institutional relationships; and key choices that lie ahead in regard to these critical arrangements.







Seminar on Basic Documentation Practices


Book Description

"Application of new technology to the management of scientific and technical information relies upon a thorough grounding in basic concepts. The acquisition, storage, retrieval and dissemination of material is becoming ever more complex and is a process which requires an understanding of how knowledge is perceived by the end user, the mechanics of data transfer and the principles of responsible information exchange. In addition, the proliferation of information and the variety of media currently available make clear objectives and practical solutions essential. The AGARD Technical Information Panel (TIP) has produced a number of publications aimed at establishing, and raising the standard of, information management. This Seminar brings together expert speakers to update the information in these publications and to contribute towards the further improvement in basic documentation practices. This Seminar, sponsored by the Technical Information Panel of AGARD, has been implemented by the Consultant and Exchange Programme.
