More Information
Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
This Research Agenda explores the academic field of intelligence studies and how it is developing into an increasingly international and diverse area of study.
As more governments release records, and as new generations of scholars engage with the topic from a range of perspectives, the book considers how the field is becoming richer, wider, and more global in scope. Featuring contributions by a diverse range of leading intelligence scholars, it surveys a variety of core areas in, and approaches to, the study of intelligence - including technological perspectives, gender, deception, and the ‘deep state’ - highlighting how intelligence will become a greater feature of government and security in the future. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book explores not only the established elements of intelligence studies, but analyses the cutting edge of intelligence research and proposes an agenda for the continued development of the field.
Offering concise and accessible discussions of developing topics in intelligence studies, this Research Agenda will be a useful guide for scholars and students of public policy, international relations and security. It will also be of interest to professionals engaged in research into security and intelligence matters.

Critical Acclaim
‘Intelligence studies now expands well beyond the realm of traditional espionage into international affairs, digital media, AI and big data, private sector analysis and many other areas. Dover, Dylan and Goodman, experienced scholars, have given us the essential guide we need to the state of modern intelligence studies and its future direction.’
– Sir David Omand, King''s College London and former Director GCHQ, UK
‘A welcome contribution to the literature on the study of intelligence, the book avoids the romance of spies and secrets, instead providing a hard-nosed but rich resource aimed at stimulating students and researchers. Ranging widely, it addresses issues from the impact of technology, deception, private sector intelligence to diversity itself. If this is your field of study, you will undoubtedly find something which could act as a starting point for further work.’
