This book critically analyses the concept of the intelligence
cycle, highlighting the nature and extent of its limitations and
proposing alternative ways of conceptualising the intelligence
process. The concept of the intelligence cycle has been central to
the study of intelligence. As Intelligence Studies has established
itself as a distinctive branch of Political Science, it has
generated its own foundational literature, within which the
intelligence cycle has constituted a vital thread - one running
through all social-science approaches to the study of intelligence
and constituting a staple of professional training courses.
However, there is a growing acceptance that the concept neither
accurately reflects the intelligence process nor accommodates
important elements of it, such as covert action,
counter-intelligence and oversight. Bringing together key authors
in the field, the book considers these questions across a number of
contexts: in relation to intelligence as a general concept,
military intelligence, corporate/private sector intelligence and
policing and criminal intelligence. A number of the contributions
also go beyond discussion of the limitations of the cycle concept
to propose alternative conceptualisations of the intelligence
process. What emerges is a plurality of approaches that seek to
advance the debate and, as a consequence, Intelligence Studies
itself. This book will be of great interest to students of
intelligence studies, strategic studies, criminology and policing,
security studies and IR in general, as well as to practitioners in
the field.
