The relationship between intelligence organizations and the
national security policymakers which they support has its ups and
downs. Sometimes the relationship is a good one; communication
flows and both sides benefit from the interaction, but sometimes
difficulties arise and problems develop. For example, when
knowledge is required for decision but is not available or is
inaccurate the outcome is frequently described as an intelligence
failure. A subset of this kind of intelligence failure occurs when
knowledge is distorted in order to reinforce or oppose policymaker
preferences or expectations. Another less successful outcome occurs
when good, accurate knowledge is not used to improve policy, but is
instead set aside or ignored by those who have the responsibility
and obligation to make decisions. This collection explores the
difficulties that can arise in the relationship between
intelligence and policy. The chapters consider both politicization
of, and lack of receptiveness to, intelligence on the part of
policymakers from a variety of different angles. Readers will find
that this book challenges conventional wisdom and offers new ways
of thinking about this important but understudied area. This book
was published as a special issue of Intelligence and National
Security.
