Smart new world: Adapting human intelligence for the digital age
This article considers the impact of digital advances on clandestine Human Intelligence (HUMINT) operations. Despite the arrival and advancement of disruptive technologies, classical HUMINT tradecraft – personal secret interaction between case officer and agent – remains indispensable for revealing adversaries’ intentions and providing decision advantage for statecraft. The authors argue that while emerging digital technologies present both new o…

Can Private Sector Intelligence Benefit from U.S. Intelligence Community Analytic Standards
The U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI)’s 2007 establishment of analytic standards in Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 203 aided in the professionalization of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC)’s analytical cadre, enshrining best practices across a diverse field of agencies and driving cultural shifts within and among U.S. IC agencies. Private sector intelligence analysis, although wide-ranging, finds itself in a growth period, d…
The Autocrat’s Indispensable Service: How Russian Intelligence secured Vladimir Putin’s Regime after failing him in Ukraine
Russian intelligence failed President Vladimir Putin in supporting the most consequential decision of statecraft – war – before Russia’s 2022 (re)invasion of Ukraine but has since somewhat recovered, possibly redeeming itself in Putin’s estimation by securing his regime nearly two and a half years since his shambolic invasion. This article complements our previous article in this journal, The Autocrat’s Intelligence Paradox: Vladimir Putin’s (mis…
A Tale of Two Clocks: A Framework for Assessing Time Pressure and Advantage in the Russo-Ukrainian War
This article assesses the role and understanding of war’s most inflexible factor—time—and its associated pressures and advantages in the Russo-Ukrainian War. While there seems to be no consensus on who might prevail (and of course the elements of what constitutes victory itself can vary), the passage of time—frequently understood in military terms as endurance and exhaustion—is a useful framework to assess the direction of the war, relative advan…
Vladimir Putin's Russian World Turned Upside Down
What will the long-term impact of President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine be upon the Russian state? This article assesses the likely outcomes of the Kremlin's war of aggression in Ukraine across a spectrum of economic, military, political, and social factors to evidence the scale of Russian miscalculation regarding its disastrous decision to invade Ukraine, and argues for the inevitability of Russian strategic decline as a direct c…

Spying (in)spires: The dwindling likelihood of an Oxford spy ring to rival the Cambridge Five
This article asks why no comparable spy ring to the Cambridge Five developed concurrently at Oxford University and argues that, based on an updated and comprehensive review of primary and secondary sources, holding out hope for a new revelation of one may be waiting for Godot. We argue that whilst structural and institutional factors played a significant role in the creation of a mid-20th century Cambridge spy ring, the role and agency of individ…
Active Measures: A Peek Inside the Kremlin’s Influence Operations
Active measures have long been a core Soviet—and subsequently Russian—tool of statecraft, especially in the near abroad, since the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. Nevertheless, the brazen Russian med
The autocrat’s intelligence paradox: Vladimir Putin’s (mis)management of Russian strategic assessment in the Ukraine War
Autocratic leaders rely on intelligence machineries for regime and personal security. They often manage large, powerful, unaccountable organisations, which they hold close. But, despite their close relationship with - and reliance upon - intelligence, autocrats also frequently struggle to use it to enhance decision-making and foreign policy, and consequently suffer avoidable intelligence failures. This article argues that Russia’s invasion of Ukr…
Can United States intelligence community analysts telework
This article argues that United States Intelligence Community analysts can and should periodically telework as routine professional development and as a research supplement to traditional all-source intelligence analysis. We offer four key benefits to tapping into this reservoir of unclassified information that would improve the quality of the intelligence product, enable better liaison and academic exchange, and steward the profession. We conclu…
The Soviet Legacy of Russian Active Measures: New Vodka from Old Stills
While there is a robust literature on Soviet and Russian active measures targeting the West, 1 there is a lack of comparative literature systematically placing active measures in their own specific
A damage assessment framework for insider threats to national security information: Edward Snowden and the Cambridge Five in comparative historical perspective
A new ‘digital generation’ of insider threat has emerged within the US intelligence community. Edward Snowden’s mass leaks were not the first transparency-driven digital challenge to the United States Intelligence Community (USIC). Three years before, then U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning provided 500,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks, which published them to great fanfare for transparency advocates while causing much concern in Washington. …
Intelligence in the Cyber Era: Evolution or Revolution
The hyper-connectivity of global information networks in contemporary societies is one of the greatest technological developments in human history. It has occasioned much reflection and marvel, yet also hand-wringing over the societal disruption, as well as the proper scope of intelligence and security agencies in harnessing these developments in a game of cat-and-mouse with evermore-sophisticated state and non-state adversaries. History suggests…
Information Dominance between War and Peace: China as the “Informationized” State
China’s modern and increasingly self-assured military and naval prowess has worried both Eastern and Western military commanders and policymakers alike since the turn of the 21st century. Harder to
