A Research Agenda for Intelligence Studies and Government
This Research Agenda explores the academic field of intelligence studies and how it is developing into an increasingly international and diverse area of study.
Comparative Policing from a Legal Perspective
Public police forces are a regular phenomenon in most jurisdictions around the world, yet their highly divergent legal context draws surprisingly little attention. Bringing together a wide range of police experts from all around the world, this book provides an overview of traditional and emerging fields of public policing, New material and findings are presented with an international-comparative perspective, it is a must-read for students of policing, security and law and professionals in related fields.
Intelligence on the Frontier Between State and Civil Society
Intelligence on the Frontier Between State and Civil Society shows how today’s intelligence practices constantly contest the frontiers between normal politics and security politics, and between civil society and the state. Today’s intelligence services face the difficult task of having to manage the uncertainties associated with new threats by inviting civil actors in to help, while also upholding their own institutional authority and responsibility to act in the interest of the nation. This volume examines three different perspectives: Managerial practices of intelligence collection and communication; the increased use of new forms of data (i.e. of social media information); and the exp...
Moral Issues in Intelligence-led Policing
The core baseline of Intelligence-led Policing is the aim of increasing efficiency and quality of police work, with a focus on crime analysis and intelligence methods as tools for informed and objective decisions both when conducting targeted, specialized operations and when setting strategic priorities. This book critically addresses the proliferation of intelligence logics within policing from a wide array of scholarly perspectives. It considers questions such as: How are precautionary logics becoming increasingly central in the dominant policing strategies? What kind of challenges will this move entail? What does the criminalization of preparatory acts mean for previous distinctions betwe...
Nordic Societal Security
This book compares and contrasts publicly espoused security concepts in the Nordic region, and explores the notion of societal security. Outside observers often assume that Nordic countries take similar approaches to the security and safety of their citizens. This book challenges that assumption and traces the evolution of ‘societal security’, and its broadly equivalent concepts, in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The notion of societal security is deconstructed and analysed in terms of its different meanings and implications for each country, through both country- and issue-focused studies. Each chapter traces the evolution of key security concepts and related practices, allowing f...
National Security Intelligence and Ethics
This volume examines the ethical issues that arise as a result of national security intelligence collection and analysis. Powerful new technologies enable the collection, communication and analysis of national security data on an unprecedented scale. Data collection now plays a central role in intelligence practice, yet this development raises a host of ethical and national security problems, such as privacy; autonomy; threats to national security and democracy by foreign states; and accountability for liberal democracies. This volume provides a comprehensive set of in-depth ethical analyses of these problems by combining contributions from both ethics scholars and intelligence practitioners...
Developing Intelligence Theory
Developing Intelligence Theory analyses the current state of intelligence theorisation, provides a guide to a range of approaches and perspectives, and points towards future research agendas in this field. Key questions discussed include the role of intelligence theory in organising the study of intelligence, how (and how far) explanations of intelligence have progressed in the last decade, and how intelligence theory should develop from here. Significant changes have occurred in the security intelligence environment in recent years—including transformative information technologies, the advent of ‘new’ terrorism, and the emergence of hybrid warfare—making this an opportune moment to ...
Les mondes du renseignement
Si le renseignement n’a jamais été aussi ouvert sur l’extérieur mais semble pourtant toujours aussi inintelligible et incertain, c’est à la fois parce que le monde est plus complexe, parce que les enjeux et les menaces sont plus nombreux, et parce que le monde du renseignement fait lui-même l’objet de mutations internes. Un monde qui d’ailleurs n’est pas un mais multiple, et dont cet ouvrage rend compte dans toute sa diversité. Qu’est-ce que le renseignement ? Comment l’étudier ? Comment fonctionnent les services français, américains, russes, chinois, iraniens, nord-coréens et autres ? Quels sont les problèmes qui se posent pour le recueil, l’analyse, les opérations clandestines? Comment faire face aux menaces cyber, au terrorisme, au contre-espionnage ? Ces questions et bien d’autres sont traitées en détail dans cette première encyclopédie scientifique du renseignement en langue française, au long de 32 chapitres conçus par 28 des meilleurs auteurs français et étrangers, théoriciens et praticiens du renseignement : une somme unique.
Queer Communion
Ron Athey is one of the most important, prolific, and influential performance artists of the past four decades. A singular example of lived creativity, his radical performances are odds with the art worlds and art marketplaces that have increasingly dominated contemporary art and performance art over the period of his career. Queer Communion, an exploration of Athey's career, refuses the linear narratives of art discourse and instead pays homage to the intensities of each mode of Athey's performative practice and each community he engages. Emphasizing the ephemeral and largely uncollectible nature of his work, the book places Athey's own writing at its center, turning to memoir, memory recal...
