This book examines how international intelligence cooperation has
come to prominence post-9/11 and introduces the main
accountability, legal and human rights challenges that it poses.
Since the end of the Cold War, the threats that intelligence
services are tasked with confronting have become increasingly
transnational in nature - organised crime, the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction and terrorism. The growth of these
threats has impelled intelligence services to cooperate with
contemporaries in other states to meet these challenges. While
cooperation between certain Western states in some areas of
intelligence operations (such as signals intelligence) is
longstanding, since 9/11 there has been an exponential increase in
both their scope and scale. This edited volume explores not only
the challenges to accountability presented by international
intelligence cooperation but also possible solutions for
strengthening accountability for activities that are likely to
remain fundamental to the work of intelligence services. The book
will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies,
security studies, international law, global governance and IR in
general.
