Researchers in the rapidly growing field of intelligence studies face unique and difficult challenges ranging from finding and accessing data on secret activities, to sorting through the politics of intelligence successes and failures, to making sense of complex socio-organizational or psychological phenomena. The contributing authors to Researching National Security Intelligence survey the state of the field and demonstrate how incorporating multiple disciplines helps to generate high-quality, policy-relevant research. Following this approach, 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 propels 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.

Reviews for Researching National Security Intelligence: Multidisciplinary Approaches

An impressive study that illustrates the broad range--but also the limits--of the field of intelligence studies today. Should be read not only by students of intelligence, but also by scholars in other disciplines who are interested in studying intelligence issues, and by intelligence practitioners and policy makers who want to engage with and take advantage of the research done in the growing field of intelligence studies. --Erik Dahl, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey CA This is the first single volume exploration of intelligence studies methods. Inter-disciplinary and bringing together both scholars and practitioners, it is an important contribution and will have a major impact. --Richard Aldrich, Leverhulme Major Research Fellow, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick This outstanding set of essays is an important contribution to the discipline of Intelligence Studies. Well written, insightful, and multidisciplinary, the essays combine into an indispensable assessment of scholarly research on the workings of secret spy agencies in the democratic societies. --Loch K. Johnson, Regents Professor, Department of International Affairs, University of Georgia
