TWENTY-FIRST
CENTURY
INTELLIGENCE
This book collects the thinking
of
some
of
the foremost experts on the future
of
intelligence in this new century.
The essays contained in this volume are set against the backdrop
of
the
transforming events
of
the September
11
terrorist attacks. Intelligence plays a
central and highly visible role in the global war on terror, and
in
new doctrines
of
global pre-emption
of
threats.
Yet
the challenges for intelligence services are
great
as
the twenty-first century unfolds. Behind the controversies
of
the
present over intelligence performance, lie critical questions about how the past
and future
of
an often mysterious but critical arm
of
the state are linked. This
collection will inform and stimulate new thinking about the current strengths
and weaknesses
of
intelligence services, and about the future paths that they
may follow.
This is a special issue
of
the journal Intelligence and National Security.
