Beskrivning

What is intelligence – why is it so hard to define, and why is there no systematic theory of intelligence? Classic intelligence analysis is based on an inference between history and the future – and this has led to a restriction in how we can perceive new threats, and new variations of threats. Now, Kjetil Anders Hatlebrekke rethinks intelligence analysis, arguing that good intelligence is based on understanding the threats that appear beyond our experience, and are therefore the most dangerous to society.

Recensioner i media

This is an important and courageous book that needs to be read by practitioners and deserves to be read by anyone with an interest in secret intelligence in international affairs and the prevention of strategic surprises in particular. My heavily dog-eared copy attests to the number of insights throughout its pages. It is my hunch that, in its call for a more open, encompassing and creative view of intelligence as an activity, process and output, this book will become a classic in intelligence studies.
