Intelligence
GNSI examines how intelligence shapes strategy, security, and human affairs with particular attention to the United States. As a secret instrument of statecraft, intelligence has always been a feature of geopolitical conflict and competition, but its role is poised to grow as a product of the current international environment. Intelligence also poses profound challenges to representative democracy and civil liberties. Emergent technology, harnessed by both state and non-state actors for intelligence purposes, is further complicating the historical relationship between intelligence, state, and society. Understanding these broad themes is essential for policy-oriented research that will address key tensions in civil-intelligence relations in the twenty-first century.
