Founded in May 2002, the ESISC (European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center) resumed on its account, as of its creation, the work of observation and analysis of international terrorism and the strategic questions which had been undertaken for more than twenty years by some of its promoters.
It was created on the initiative of Claude Moniquet, former journalist author specialized, expert internationally recognized as regards counter-terrorism, and by four others associated: Genovefa Etienne, Frederic Moser, Ingrid Morvan and Marc Borry.
Our team counts today more than 25 people, researchers and analysts, specialized in the questions concerning terrorism, the Close relation and the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Latin America, military questions etc In addition to a central structure in Brussels, the ESISC counts today an office in Paris and another in North Africa.
We have three Internet sites: www.esisc.eu, and www.strategicasiaonline.org (in French and English) for all the questions concerning safety and the economic affairs and industrial in China and in the remainder of Asia.
Registering its step in the total reflexion on the questions of safety which followed the attacks of September 11, 2001 and in the vaster problems of privatization partial of safety and the information, the ESISC is thus at the same time a “think tank” with Anglo-Saxon, which was given for mission of speaking in the public discussion and of sensitizing the company with the questions of safety, and a true actor of strategic safety. It mixes at the same time fundamental research, the industrial research and of the activities of analysis, council and training given with the profit of its partners (see the heading “Our services”).
The expertise on the ESISC relates in particular to the questions of safety in the broad sense: terrorism and counter-terrorism, information, conflicts of low intensity, ethnic and religious conflicts, anti-semitism and racism, Islamism and other forms of political or religious extremism, organized crime and corruption, economic safety.
The ESISC is very regularly quoted in the international media (see the heading “Esisc in the media”). Its president, Claude Moniquet, are a frequent host of the “talk-show” and television news or broadcast, in Europe as in North America, in the Maghreb or the Middle East.
