Professor Glees was visited by Professors Motohiro Tsuchiya, head of the Graduate School of Governance at Keio University, and Izumi Harada of the Information Society Research Department and the Institute for International Socio-Economic Studies in Tokyo, and Captain Keizo Kitagawa, the Defence Attache of the Embassy of Japan in the UK.

They came to discuss current BUCSIS’s teaching and research work, with a special concern for our model of security and intelligence teaching (not yet found in Japan) and the work done by us on the impact of Snowden’s revelations. Japan is currently the subject of intense cyber attack from China and there is a wish to consider how best it might protect its security in the future.

Professor Glees was invited to give the conference keynote talk on ‘Intelligence politics and policies in the post-Snowden environment’ as the guest of 4Secure, Information Security Specialists, in the Churchill War Rooms in Whitehall last week.

He was also interviewed on Tony Blair’s view on intervention on BBC Three Counties, and BBC Oxford.
