%X L¡¯article prend au pied de la lettre la remarque de Jean-Paul Brodeur en r¨¦plique au travail de deux chercheurs britanniques sur la privatisation de la   haute police   (ou police des renseignements). ¨¤ partir de travaux empiriques men¨¦s en France, il discute des connaissances engendr¨¦es par le regard jet¨¦ sur la diversit¨¦ des client¨¨les des agences de s¨¦curit¨¦ priv¨¦e et des services internes de s ret¨¦ d¡¯entreprises sensibles pouvant faire appel ¨¤ leurs services. Il argumente sur le caract¨¨re d¨¦licat de l¡¯hypoth¨¨se d¡¯une privatisation de l¡¯information d¨¦tenue par les diverses agences de renseignements de l¡¯¨¦tat, attribut de souverainet¨¦ non v¨¦ritablement entam¨¦. La r¨¦volution qui convertirait le co t du renseignement public (militaire ou policier) prot¨¦geant les institutions en prix ¨¤ payer au renseignement priv¨¦ prot¨¦geant la s¨¦curit¨¦ de l¡¯entreprise et celle de ses clients n¡¯a pas v¨¦ritablement commenc¨¦. On peut n¨¦anmoins en rep¨¦rer quelques pr¨¦misses parmi les agences dites   d¡¯intelligence ¨¦conomique  , bien que la plupart de leurs contrats soient li¨¦s aux industries de l¡¯armement contr l¨¦es par les ¨¦tats-majors du minist¨¨re de la D¨¦fense. The paper makes a literal interpretation of Jean-Paul Brodeur¡¯s response to the work of two British scholars on the privatization of   high policing   (or intelligence-led policing). Building on French empirical research, we discuss the body of knowledge created by exploring the diversity of both the customer base of private security agencies and the internal safety departments of sensitive corporations that may require their services. We discuss the delicate nature of the potential privatization of the information held by the various official intelligence agencies, an attribute of sovereignty not seriously undermined so far. The revolution has not yet been initiated that will convert the cost of public (military or policing) intelligence¡ªwhich is meant to protect the institutions¡ªinto a price to be paid to private intelligence companies ¡ªwhose goal is to protect the security of corporations and their customers. However, several forerunners can be detected in the so-called ¡°economic intelligence¡± community, although they mainly contract with state-controlled arms industry actors directly managed by the ministry of Defense staff.
