Academic Intelligence and Security Studies - AISS 2011: Intelligence Cultures and Communities (November 18-19, 2011, Bucharest)

Abstract

An introduction to this special issue, the paper argues for increased research on academic intelligence and security studies from the perspective of smaller countries than the Unites States, which is the classic case for theory testing. At the same time, it emphasizes the need to take into account the complex web of factors at stake for the study of intelligence and security in Europe, especially since the supranational (i.e. European Union), as well as the transatlantic (i.e. NATO) are relevant variables for understanding these objects of research.
