Spying, the "world's second oldest profession," is hardly limited
to the traditional great power countries. Intelligence Elsewhere,
nevertheless, is the first scholarly volume to deal exclusively
with the comparative study of national intelligence outside of the
anglosphere and European mainstream. Past studies of intelligence
and counterintelligence have tended to focus on countries such as
the United States, Great Britain, and Russia, as well as, to a
lesser extent, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany. This volume
examines the deep historical and cultural origins of intelligence
in several countries of critical importance today: India, China,
the Arab world, and indeed, Russia, the latter examined from a
fresh perspective. The authors then delve into modern intelligence
practice in countries with organizations significantly different
from the mainstream: Iran, Pakistan, Japan, Finland, Sweden,
Indonesia, Argentina, and Ghana. With contributions by leading
intelligence experts for each country, the chapters give the reader
important insights into intelligence culture, current practice, and
security sector reform. As the world morphs into an increasingly
multi-polar system, it is more important than ever to understand
the national intelligence systems of rising powers and regional
powers that differ significantly from those of the US, its NATO
allies, and its traditional opponents. This fascinating book shines
new light into intelligence practices in regions that, until now,
have eluded our understanding.
Bringing a dose of reality to the stuff of literary thrillers, this
masterful study is the first closely detailed, comparative analysis
of the evolution of the modern British and American intelligence
communities. Intelligence and Government in Britain and the United
States: A Comparative Perspective is an intensive, comparative
exploration of the role of organizational and political culture in
the development of the intelligence communities of America and her
long-time ally. Each national system is examined as a detailed case
study set in a common conceptual and theoretical framework. The
first volume lays out that framework and examines the U.S.
intelligence community. The second volume offers the U.K. case
study as well as overall conclusions. Particular attention is paid
here to the fundamentally different concepts of what "intelligence"
entails in the United States and United Kingdom, as well as to the
nations' different approaches to managing change- and
information-intensive activities. The impact of these differences
is demonstrated by examining the evolution of the two intelligence
communities from their inceptions prior to World War II through
their development during the Cold War and the transformations that
have taken place since, especially in the wake of the September
2001 terrorist attacks and 2003 invasion of Iraq. U.S. and U.K.
