Reliable information on potential security threats is not just the
result of diligent intelligence work but also a product of context
and culture. The volume explores the nexus between the intelligence
process and strategic culture. How can and does the strategic
outlook of the United States and the United Kingdom in particular,
influence the intelligence gathering, assessment and dissemination
process? This book contains an assessment of how political agendas
and ideological outlook have significant influence on both the
content and process of intelligence. It looks in particular at the
premise of hearts and minds policies, culture and intelligence
gathering in counterinsurgency operations; at case studies from
imperial Malaya and Iran in the 1950s and at instances of
intelligence failure, e.g. the case of Iraq in 2003. How was
intelligence, or the lack thereof, a product of political culture
and how did it play a role in the political praxis? The book shows
that political agendas and the ideological outlook have a
significant influence upon both the content and process of
intelligence. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Intelligence and National Security.
