Advances in archival disclosure, accelerated by the end of the Cold War, as well as by the changing attitudes of official secrecy and the work of the intelligence services, have further facilitated research, understanding and debate. Recent controversies, including claims of politicisation of intelligence historiography, have added additional public saliency to long-standing academic disputes. The events of September 11 and their aftermath have shown the value and limits of secret intelligence and generated fresh controversies for proponents and critics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book examines critically the development of intelligence studies and assesses its contribution to the study of international relations. It draws upon the viewpoints of leading academics, journalists and former practitioners, to explore the way the subject is studied, for what purposes and with what consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0714655333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714655338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.12w x 0.73d","brand":"Peter Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086318088447,"sku":"9780714655338","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ea239e9-8fb2-401b-92d7-62e05c48bfeb.jpg?v=1769093998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-intelligence-in-the-twenty-first-peter-jackson-9780714655338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
