Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This Research Agenda
explores the academic field of intelligence studies and how it is
developing into an increasingly international and diverse area of
study. As more governments release records, and as new generations
of scholars engage with the topic from a range of perspectives, the
book considers how the field is becoming richer, wider, and more
global in scope. Featuring contributions by a diverse range of
leading intelligence scholars, it surveys a variety of core areas
in, and approaches to, the study of intelligence - including
technological perspectives, gender, deception, and the 'deep state'
- highlighting how intelligence will become a greater feature of
government and security in the future. Taking an interdisciplinary
approach, the book explores not only the established elements of
intelligence studies, but analyses the cutting edge of intelligence
research and proposes an agenda for the continued development of
the field. Offering concise and accessible discussions of
developing topics in intelligence studies, this Research Agenda
will be a useful guide for scholars and students of public policy,
international relations and security. It will also be of interest
to professionals engaged in research into security and intelligence
matters.
Since its creation in 1947, the CIA has been at the heart of
America's security apparatus. It has also been the subject of major
national and international controversies, and been subject to
accusations of poor performance and failure, most notably over the
9/11 attacks and Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Written by
intelligence scholars and experts, this book offers the reader a
lively and authoritative survey of the CIA past and present. The
history of the agency is presented through the prism of its
declassified documents, with each being supplemented by insightful
contextual analysis. The book chronicles the evolution of the CIA,
its remarkable successes, clandestine operations, and its ongoing
struggle to maintain American security in an age of proliferating
threats.
This handbook provides a detailed analysis of threats and risk in
the international system and of how governments and their
intelligence services must adapt and function in order to manage
the evolving security environment. This environment, now and for
the foreseeable future, is characterised by complexity. The
development of disruptive digital technologies; the vulnerability
of critical national infrastructure; asymmetric threats such as
terrorism; the privatisation of national intelligence capabilities:
all have far reaching implications for security and risk
management. The leading academics and practitioners who have
contributed to this handbook have all done so with the objective of
cutting through the complexity, and providing insight on the most
pressing security, intelligence, and risk factors today. They
explore the changing nature of conflict and crises; interaction of
the global with the local; the impact of technological; the
proliferation of hostile ideologies and the challenge this poses to
traditional models of intelligence; and the impact of all these
factors on governance and ethical frameworks. The handbook is an
invaluable resource for students and professionals concerned with
contemporary security and how national intelligence must adapt to
remain effective.
