It all started from the involvement of national intelligence service, xxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx (CCC), within the processing of naturalisation. CCC was responsible to provide the President an intelligence brief over the applicants, in order to ensure their profiles cleared from security issues before acquiring the citizenship. However, the application process frequently exceeded the statutory time due to the policy, triggering complaints among the Applicants.
As my length of service at the Subdivision of Citizenship Affairs, I acknowledged that it was a structural problem, and despite repeated complaints, CCC always justified it as a result of the operations confidentiality and added claim that the institution only complied to the State Intelligence Act solely. Indeed, secrecy is essential in intelligence gathering. Nevertheless, since naturalisation is the part of public administrative affairs, which strictly bound by the fundamental principles of Administrative Law - public accountability for example, CCC's claim became void ab initio.
This protracted contradiction, after all, need to be resolved quickly and accurately. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of intelligence studies, institutional behaviour and security governance will be definitely required. Due to those requirements, I am encouraged to pursue IMSISS programme for at least two reasons.
First, its course's structure, especially for T4. The modules in Path A, such as Intelligence Analysis & Policy Makingat the University of Glasgow and Intelligence & Security Analysis: Theory & Practice at Dublin City University, offer rigorous analytical frameworks that will unlock the opportunity to examine intelligence behaviour beyond the surface-level problem mentioned above. Meanwhile, courses from Charles University Prague will enrich my examination with such security-related-activities regularly conducted by intelligence agency.
Second, its multi-campus design. The academic environments shaped by distinct historical experiences of intelligence, conflict, and political transformation will enhance my understanding of how democratic states negotiate the balance between secrecy, civil liberties, and institutional accountability. It will also connect me to numerous of security expertise where my long-term objective of contributing into intelligence governance reform in my country will be refined.
I strongly believe that the combination between previous academic performance and professional engagement had paved a solid foundations for my study. My occupation as legal analyst for almost a decade had developed my capacity for structured research, policy interpretation, and critical evaluation of institutional practices. My journal entitled "The House of Representative's Position within the Polemics of xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx's Bilateral Treaties", along with several articles, the undergraduate thesis, and numerous analytical documents produced throughout my career had demonstrated my writing, reasoning, and problem structuring skills.
Sort of achievements in oral-based competitions during high school, either local or national levels, had sharpened my public speaking skills, which firmly will amplify my participation in seminars, discussion classes, and collaborative research. My leadership skills in consequence of long involvement records in various organisations, from the school student body president to the chairperson of environmental ambassador's forum at the provincial level, will also be very relevant for my life among multi-national student's atmosphere.
For the dissertation, I intend to explore an appropriate engagement of intelligence agency within legal administrative affairs - maintaining national interest sufficiently without declining public accountability. It will become the most solid basis to advocate the amendment or promulgation of a robust yet accommodative regulation for naturalisation.
After completing the programme, I am fully prepared to design an action plan for the legal and institutional framework improvement related to intelligence, security governance, and inter-agency coordination through policy and regulatory reforms and propose it to the Minister of xxx, who is the head of my institution and also the direct policy maker in the law field below the President.
