Using espionage as a test case, "The End of Intelligence"
criticizes claims that the recent information revolution has
weakened the state, revolutionized warfare, and changed the balance
of power between states and non-state actors--and it assesses the
potential for realizing any hopes we might have for reforming
intelligence and espionage.
Examining espionage, counterintelligence, and covert action, the
book argues that, contrary to prevailing views, the information
revolution is increasing the power of states relative to non-state
actors and threatening privacy more than secrecy. Arguing that
intelligence organizations may be taken as the paradigmatic
organizations of the information age, author David Tucker shows the
limits of information gathering and analysis even in these
organizations, where failures at self-knowledge point to broader
limits on human knowledge--even in our supposed age of
transparency. He argues that, in this complex context, both
intuitive judgment and morality remain as important as ever and
undervalued by those arguing for the transformative effects of
information.
This book will challenge what we think we know about the power of
information and the state, and about the likely twenty-first
century fate of secrecy and privacy.
