Why Do We Need a New Research Agenda for the Study of Intelligence?

ABSTRACT This article compares the secret state intelligence activities of democracies and authoritarian systems, arguing that authoritarian intelligence is fundamentally different than democratic intelligence. The very meaning of the term ‘information security’ differs dramatically between the two regime types. In authoritarian systems, analytical objectivity in intelligence both is not and should not be the primary goal. Authoritarian intelligence systems are best understood as ‘Palace Guards’ whose primary aim is to secure the authoritarian regime against threats emanating most importantly from their domestic population. The relationship between Intelligence Studies and Philosophy is explored throughout the paper.

Special Forum on intelligence and theory

Governments spend heavily on intelligence to support their militaries at tactical, operational, and strategic levels. This happens in many different mission areas, abroad as well as at home, and in various contexts, including counterterrorism, homeland security, and peace and stability operations. In the context of out-of-area missions, some have called for reorganizing military intelligence to facilitate counterinsurgency strategies better, while others have argued that such proposals “would match poorly with the traditional nature of military intelligence and the realities of human resources constraints in the military.” However, only limited academic research has been done on intelligence and the military. As a result, prominent academic intelligence journals, including the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence, only occasionally publish on this topic. It appears not

Intelligence and the Military: Introduction

ABSTRACT This article examines how specific characteristics of defense intelligence affect the relationship between intelligence producers and their clients in a manner that is different from prevailing conceptualizations commonly found in civilian intelligence organizations. To do so, the paper first addresses some important distinguishing characteristics of defense intelligence. These include the embedded character of defense intelligence agencies in military organizations, specific military cultural traits and the mixture of military and civilian personnel. Based on literature study and desk research, the paper then identifies three producer-client paradigms: I) distance versus closeness, II) the ideal of analytic objectivity, and III) intelligence lays the foundation for decision-making. Confronting these paradigms with the characteristics of defense intelligence, we find that defense intelligence producer-client relations are more multifaceted, layered and networked than commonly explained.
