Security intelligence continues to be of central importance to the
contemporary world: individuals, organizations and states all seek
timely and actionable intelligence in order to increase their sense
of security. But what exactly is intelligence? Who seeks to develop
it and to what ends? How can we ensure that intelligence is not
abused? In this third edition of their classic text, Peter Gill and
Mark Phythian set out a comprehensive framework for the study of
intelligence, discussing how states organize the collection and
analysis of information in order to produce intelligence, how it is
acted upon, why it may fail and how the process should be governed
in order to uphold democratic rights. Fully revised and updated
throughout, the book covers recent developments, including the
impact of the Snowden leaks on the role of intelligence agencies in
Internet and social media surveillance and in defensive and
offensive cyber operations, and the legal and political
arrangements for democratic control. The role of intelligence as
part of 'hybrid' warfare in the case of Russia and Ukraine is also
explored, and the problems facing intelligence in the realm of
counterterrorism is considered in the context of the recent wave of
attacks in Western Europe. Intelligence in an Insecure World is an
authoritative and accessible guide to a rapidly expanding area of
inquiry - one that everyone has an interest in understanding.
