Summary/Abstract: In the current Information Age societies undergo a continuous structural change, and consequently, ensuring state stability and security has become a more and more difficult challenge in the context of asymmetric warfare techniques and tools being used increasingly often. As such, current analysts and policymakers face the need to revise and adapt their approach, in order to adequately understand the multiple threats appearing routinely and counter them in due time.This paper aims to propose a new model of framing strategic intelligence analysis by applying principles from the branch of sociocybernetics.By using this system of thinking, our goal is to help analysts and decisionmakers alike to identify clear social, political, economic patterns of behavior and correct them where necessary, as well as ease the identification of any structural vulnerabilities.
