This new discipline proposes a systematic understanding of the
customs, moral attitudes, and cultures of foreign populations to
enhance the efficacy of national security initiatives. The book
offers an in-depth analysis and conceptualization of a much needed
intelligence discipline, Sociocultural intelligence (SOCINT).
SOCINT means observing and analyzing such elements as the land, the
people, and their communities. Customs, moral attitudes, and
culture of foreign populations are integrated into the analysis of
the information gathered to maximize the efficiency of security
initiatives. A key tool in intelligence and covert operations,
SOCINT can mostly be used for non-lethal operations that require a
thorough understanding of networks and systems. Simply, by
understanding the behavioral aspects of relationships and systems,
we will have a greater opportunity for 'success' by knowing who,
what, where, when, why, and how to influence within the systems
themselves. Not only a tool for war fighting, SOCINT is needed for
multiple uses, such as law enforcement operations and business.
Written by an international expert, this unique book combines
theoretical analysis with practical application to present and
advocate for the systematic use of SOCINT to students and
practitioners in intelligence studies, intelligence communities,
and national security. "The Continuum Intelligence Studies Series"
presents new research to enhance both the study and practice of
intelligence. The volumes in CITS will focus on theory, concepts,
teaching methods, new research, methodologies, best practices, and
more across all fields of intelligence studies. The focus will be
on contemporary issues and new research. Composed of coursebooks,
monographs, practical guides, and reference works written by
scholars and experts, the series is geared toward students in
intelligence and security studies, as well as practitioners and
policymakers.
