INTELLIGENCE IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE - INTELLIGENCE IN A TIME OF RAPID CHANGE - ISSUE No. 2
Before you is the second issue of the methodological journal Intelligence in Theory and in Practice. The thread connecting the articles in this issue is the need for intelligence personnel to adapt their methods to the increasing pace and intensity of the changes both in the strategic environment and in the operative and technological environment.
The inherent tension between the need for change and the adherence to familiar Practices has provided grist for a wide range of research and writing, and not only in the intelligence context. In this issue we seek to focus the discussion on the intelligence aspects of the subject: changes in the adversary and in the environment, and how these add up to a basic change in the intelligence community in general, in intelligence organizations that monitor the environment in particular, in the patterns of relations between the different intelligence organizations, and in the new and evolving intelligence professions.
