Profiles in Intelligence
Loch K. Johnson is a leading figure and one of the most familiar names in the study of intelligence. He is one of its pioneers and key thinkers. Over some 40 years, his academic career developed in parallel with the field of Intelligence Studies, a field he has done much to shape. His work has influenced generations of students, academics, and practitioners
Conclusion
One key indicator of the vibrancy of Intelligence Studies as a field of academic enquiry over recent years has been the emergence of a discrete current of Critical Intelligence Studies (CIS). Debate as to what precisely CIS means, or the scope of what ‘Critical’ (or ‘critical’) denotes, continues but the articles collected together in this special issue represent a menu of opportunities connected by a desire to extend notional boundaries so as to…

Developing Intelligence Theory
The Road Not Taken
To better understand police intelligence practice, we examined practitioners’ views of their work and their relations with the wider law enforcement community. We surveyed intelligence staff (n = 110) and interviewed a random sample of respondents (n = 12). Our analysis suggested that traditionalism and the dominant action-oriented culture limit the organization’s understanding of intelligence practice. Largely, the focus in that context has been…
What Is Intelligence Studies
In the second decade of the 21st century, the academic study of intelligence continues to develop apace, as evidenced by the growth in publishing, undergraduate and postgraduate academic courses that combine historical and social science approaches, the increase in undergraduate programs in intelligence analysis aimed at those seeking to enter the profession, and the development of professional training courses internationally. The idea of “intel…
Intellectuals of the Left and the Atomic Dilemma in the Age of the US Atomic Monopoly, 1945–1949
Given its close association with the formation of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, it is tempting to assume that the response of Left intellectuals to the advent of atomic weapons was rooted in consistent opposition. This article demonstrates that the reality was much more complex. During the period of the US atomic monopoly (1945-1949) British Left intellectuals wrestled with the implications of this new destructive force and arrived at wid…
Ethics and Intelligence
A decade ago, the literature on the relationship between ethics and intelligence was very limited. However, the post-9/11 (11 September 2011) intelligence and security environment, in which nationa
The Politics of the Strategic Defence and Security Review
This article examines the politics of the October 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), focussing on the points of difference between the main political parties (and within the Cameron coalition government) and the political dynamics of the review process. In examining how the government's core mission to reduce the country's ‘historic deficit’ impacted on the review process and outcomes, we are also able to highlight the practical r…

Marching in time
This article considers how three countries—the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia—approached the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 by examining how the leaders’ decision-making interacted, the commonalities of their policy-making processes, and the approach to policy justification taken in terms of their domestic political environments. In particular, it examines the extent to which their claims as to why invasion was necessary…

The Perfect Intelligence Failure? U.S. Pre‐War Intelligence on Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction
Prewar U.S. intelligence suggested that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. None were found in Iraq. The threat they posed proved to be illusory and not imminent. Was Iraq a case of intelligence failure? In his seminal 1978 study of the inevitability of intelligence failure, Richard Betts argued that the most crucial mistakes are most often made by decision‐making consumers. Through analyses of the findings of the reports of the 2004 Se…

CND's Cold War
This article examines the context within which CND evolved and the campaign's analysis of key developments in the Cold War from its founding in 1958 to the late 1980s. In particular, it focuses on the usually neglected period from 1963 to the early 1970s. Not only does it examine the ways in which CND viewed the Cuban Missile Crisis, its critique of NATO and advocacy of positive neutralism, but it also examines debates surrounding the Vietnam War…
The National Interest and the Politics of Threat Exaggeration
During the 2005 General Election the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, suggested that the invasion of Iraq was in 'the national interest'. Whether he knew it or not, this phrase has often referred to controversial decisions taken by governments, away from scrutiny and subject to criticism when made public, but which they believe are in the best interests of the British state. The article summarises the consequences of the invasion in ter…
Hutton and Scott
This article traces the shifting foreign policy priorities that provided the context for the Scott and Hutton reports. Taken together, these reports bookend a 25-year period in which Saddam Hussein was transformed from de facto ally and valued trading partner to the most immediate threat to world peace. In neither phase of the relationship was the British public trusted with the objective truth about the Iraqi regime. Intelligence on Iraq was fir…

Hunters in the backyard? The UK, the us and the question of arms sales to Castro's Cuba, 1959
The UK supplied arms to the Batista government in Cuba right up to the time of Batista's dramatic flight in December 1958. The new Castro government's request that the balance of an order for Sea Fury aircraft ‐ paid for by Batista ‐ be delivered, created a marked dilemma for the British government. Supply was economically desirable and would also bring political benefits. However, supply would also run counter to US interests. Later in 1959 the …

State Surveillance of the CPGB Leadership
Newly-declassified files on the surveillance of the CPGB leadership from its founding through to the 1950s provide a fresh and important source of information on both the nature, extent and success of state surveillance, and on the CPGB leadership itself. In particular, as this article makes clear, the material contained within the files offers a valuable window on Moscow's attitude towards the CPGB and its leadership, and illustrates the way in …
