Intelligence Elsewhere (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Intelligence Elsewhere is the first scholarly volume to deal exclusively with the comparative study of national intelligence outside of the Anglosphere and great-power European mainstream. Leading regional and intelligence experts examine the deep historical and cultural origins of intelligence in several countries of critical importance today: India, China, the Arab world, and Russia, the latter examined from a fresh perspective. Other chapters delve into modern intelligence practice in countries with organizations significantly different from the mainstream: Iran, Pakistan, Japan, Finland, Sweden, Indonesia, Argentina, and Ghana. Each chapter reveals insights into intelligence history and practices in regions that, until now, have eluded our understanding.
