This important new handbook examines the growing field of
Intelligence Studies from A-to-Z. It explains how intelligence
agencies operate; how they collect information from around the
world; the problems faced in providing further insight into this
'raw' information through the techniques of analysis; and the
difficulties that accompany the dissemination of intelligence to
policymakers in a timely manner.
The Handbook of Intelligence Studies contextualises the history,
politics, and policies that are part and parcel of a solid
understanding of how intelligence agencies function in the modern
era - an 'Information Age' characterized by the rapid flow of data
around the globe. Since 9/11, people around the world have acquired
a greater appreciation for the importance of the information
obtained by the officials responsible for protecting their
security. Across the globe, nations are experimenting with new
forms of intelligence capabilities, including a strong emphasis on
accountability in countries that were formerly led by autocratic
regimes with notoriously unsavoury secret services.
This handbook is a benchmark publication with major importance both
for current research and for the future of the field. It will be
essential reading for advanced undergraduates, graduate students
and scholars of intelligence studies, international security,
strategic studies and political science in general.
