DEFINITION
Information Peacekeeping is the active
exploitation of information and information
technology--in order to peacefully modify the
balance of power between specific individuals and
groups--so as to achieve national policy
objectives. The three elements of Information
Peacekeeping, in order of priority, are
intelligence (providing useful actionable
information) information technology (providing
tools for truth which afford the recipient
access to international information and the
ability to communicate with others and
electronic security counterintelligence (a
strictly defensive and preventive aspect of being
able to sustain Information Peacekeeping
operations. Robert D. Steele, 1994
