Description

Intelligence Elsewhere: Spies and Espionage Outside the Anglosphere is the first scholarly volume to exclusively examine national intelligence outside of the anglophone world. Traditionally, studies have focused on countries such as the US, UK, Russia, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany. This book takes a fresh approach by exploring the historical and cultural roots of intelligence in key nations like India, China, the Arab world, and Russia, before delving into modern practices in countries with unique organizations: Iran, Pakistan, Japan, Finland, Sweden, Indonesia, Argentina, and Ghana. The authors draw on contributions from leading intelligence experts to provide insights into intelligence culture, current practice, and security sector reform. As the global landscape becomes increasingly multipolar, understanding national intelligence systems of rising powers and regional players is crucial. This book sheds new light on intelligence practices in regions previously underexplored. By examining these diverse countries, Intelligence Elsewhere offers a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of national intelligence outside the anglophone world.
