Intelligence and Strategic Culture

Reliable information on potential security threats is not just the result of diligent intelligence work but also a product of context and culture. The volume explores the nexus between the intelligence process and strategic culture. How can and does the strategic outlook of the United States and the United Kingdom in particular, influence the intelligence gathering, assessment and dissemination process? The book shows that political agendas and the ideological outlook have significant influence on both the content and process of intelligence. This book was originally published as a special issue of Intelligence and National Security.
