The contributing authors to Researching National Security Intelligence survey the state of the field and demonstrate how incorporating multiple disciplines increases the generation of high-quality, policy-relevant research. Following this argument, the volume provides a conceptual, empirical, and methodological toolkit for scholars and students informed by many disciplines: history, political science, public administration, psychology, communications, and journalism. This collection of essays written by an international group of scholars and practitioners will propel intelligence studies forward by demonstrating its growing depth, by suggesting new pathways to the creation of knowledge, and by identifying how scholarship can enhance practice and accountability
Beschreibung:	The idea for Researching National Security Intelligence can be traced to a colloquium held at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) in March 2017 and funded by the Intelligence Community Center for Academic Excellence program--Preface Includes bibliographical references and index
