With intensified threats to global security from international
terrorism worldwide, education systems themselves face these same
unprecedented security threats. Schools and universities have
become marked loci of interest for the monitoring of extremism and
counter-terrorism by security and intelligence agencies. The
relationship between education systems and national security is
nothing new though - it extends in surprising and unexpected ways
into territory which is by turns open and covert, even secret.
Acknowledging the genuine political and security concerns which
have drawn educational systems ever closer to the intelligence
community, this book shows how and why this has happened, and
explains why the relationship between education and the security
and intelligence communities extends beyond contemporary concerns
with counter-terrorism. As the title of this book demonstrates,
this is as much an intellectual challenge as a security struggle.
Education, Security and Intelligence Studies thus critically
engages with multi-disciplinary perspectives on a complex and
contentious interface: between systems of often secret and covert
national security and intelligence and open systems of national
education. Delving into difficult to access and often closely
guarded aspects of public life, the book provides the pathfinding
groundwork and theoretical modelling for research into a complex of
little explored institutional and epistemological
interconnectedness between universities and the security and
intelligence agencies. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the British Journal of Educational Studies.
