Description
Securing the State explores how governments balance security with individual freedoms and rights. Based on his experience in government, David Omand argues that maintaining public confidence is crucial for national security.
The book examines the role of secret intelligence in delivering security, while also discussing its potential risks to public trust. Omand proposes a set of ethical principles to guide intelligence work within human rights frameworks.
With historical examples and new perspectives, this book offers insights into pressing issues of public policy, making it a valuable resource for practitioners and those studying security and intelligence studies.
