Intelligence
CRITICAL CONCEPTS IN MILITARY, STRATEGIC,
AND SECURITY STUDIES
Edited by Loch K. Johnson, University of Georgia, USA
Many experts on security intelligence distinguish mysteries from secrets.
Mysteries (e.g. can Pakistan survive the threat it faces from the presence of
insurgents in its western provinces?) are worldly phenomena that
governments may wish to understand, but which are difficult to fathom
given the foibles of human beings, not least their inability accurately to
foretell the future. Secrets (e.g. the number of nuclear submarines in the
Chinese navy), however, are more susceptible to understanding. Indeed, with
the right spy in place, with surveillance satellites in their proper orbit, or
with reconnaissance aircraft well-positioned in enemy airspace, secrets can be
deduced, but governments are largely limited to thoughtful speculation
about the planets deeper mysteries. Either way, prudent states will seek to
establish intelligence-gathering agencies to ferret out secrets and help
productively to ponder mysteries.
Serious academic work focusing on issues in and around this kind of activity
flourishes as never before, and this new four-volume collection from
Routledges Critical Concepts in Military, Strategic, and Security Studies series
addresses the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a
rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of scholarly literature.
Intelligence is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction,
newly written by the editor, which places the collected materials in its
historical and intellectual context. It is destined to be valued by scholars and
students as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.
