How is it that the FBI, a domestic intelligence agency, operates
beyond the US borders? What role does the bureau play in emerging
democracies? In what ways does it contribute to US diplomacy and
global security? Darren Tromblay tackles these intriguing questions
to assess the FBI's presence abroad, revealing the inextricable
nature of domestic and foreign intelligence activities.
Initiated in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks,
have the reforms of the US intelligence enterprise served their
purpose? What have been the results of the creation of the
Department of Homeland Security, the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence, and a reorganized FBI? Have they helped to
reduce blind spots and redundancies in resources and
responsibilities ... and to prevent misuses of intelligence and law
enforcement? How did a disaster like the Snowden scandal happen?
The author answers these questions in his thorough, often
provocative, assessment of post-9/11 US domestic intelligence
activities in the pursuit of national security.
Russian interference with the 2016 U.S. elections brought the
problem of foreign influence on American politics into sharp
relief. However, externally-sponsored subversion of U.S. decision
making has been a shadowy threat to American policy for the better
part of a century. Political Influence Operations provides an
incisive examination of how external actors have infiltrated
American society-from lobbyists, to academia, to the media-in order
to further their own objectives. Tromblay draws upon historical
examples to demonstrate how U.S. adversaries - and sometimes its
ostensible allies - have used the openness of American society
against the country's best interests. By identifying
vulnerabilities and exposing the underlying dynamics of foreign
influence, the book provides a roadmap for U.S. governmental and
private sector entities to navigate the currents of international
engagement.

As experienced by the United States, competition has played out in
three distinct types of threat activity: sabotage (the destruction
of capabilities), espionage (the theft of specific capabilities),
and defection (the carrying of knowledge out of the country).
Today, the changing innovation environment has created new
challenges. Significant advances are being made in start-ups as
well as larger companies who no longer rely on U.S. government
contracts. Not only does this place a key element of national power
in the hands of the private sector, but it often leaves Washington
at an informational disadvantage in understanding technologies.
This book analyzes these concepts from the perspective of the
United States' experience in the field of innovation security.
Historical and recent examples illustrate the threats to
innovation, the various approaches to mitigating them, and how the
evolution of the innovative process now requires rethinking how the
United States can benefit from and preserve its cutting edge human
capital.

Much has been written about U.S. intelligence operations. However,
intelligence, as it is conducted in the U.S. domestic environment,
has usually been treated in a fractured and sensationalistic
manner. This book dispassionately assesses the U.S. domestically
oriented intelligence enterprise by first examining its individual
components and then showing how those components, both federal and
non-federal, work in conjunction to form an often unacknowledged
structure that is more than the sum of its parts. The U.S. Domestic
Intelligence Enterprise: History, Development, and Operations takes
a unique, in-depth approach that assesses not only the current
state of affairs but also the evolution of the domestic
intelligence enterprise. To accomplish this, it examines the
origins and progress of the major agencies to show why they operate
in the way that they do. By providing this perspective, the book
promotes an understanding of the factors to consider when
developing effective intelligence policy. The book is divided into
several thematic sections: The evolution of the domestically
oriented intelligence enterprise The collection capabilities of the
enterprise The role that domestically-developed intelligence has in
the analytical process, which informs decision making The use of
intelligence to implement decisions via disruption of threat actors
The U.S. Domestic Intelligence Enterprise intends to prompt a
rethinking of intelligence within the domestic environment. It
takes into account the political realities, the organizational
cultures, and the evolving missions that have shaped those agencies
responsible for positive and negative intelligence and disruption
of threats on American soil. This will hopefully provide a
counterweight to future knee-jerk reactions and, instead, inspire a
thoughtful approach to the advancement of U.S. strategic interests
while protecting the rights of Americans.
