INS special forum on David Sherman’s ‘An Intelligence Classic That Almost Never Was – Roberta Wohlstetter’s Pearl Harbor
Roberta Wohlstetter’s Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision is probably the most influential book in the field of intelligence studies. As David Sherman explains, however, government officials attempted to block its publication due to security concerns that seemed to focus on Wohlstetter’s passing reference to World War II SIGINT. Because Sherman’s history raises issues of such ongoing importance to the field of intelligence studies, the editors hav…
Russia Invades Ukraine
In the lead up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the United States and its allies attempted a delicate balancing act of diplomacy and deterrence. While the United States and the North American Treaty Organization (NATO) brought Russia to the negotiating table, they also issued threats of sanctions and disclosed intelligence to undermine pretextual claims that Russia might make to justify an invasion. Despite these efforts, Russia announced on Febr…
Cheap fights, credible threats
Drones are considered poor coercion tools: They cannot operate in contested airspace and they offer low-cost fights instead of more credible, costly signals. However, this article finds that technological advances will soon enable drones to function in hostile environments. Moreover, drones offer three unique coercion advantages that theorists did not foresee: sustainability in long duration conflicts, certainty of precision punishment which can …

How Intelligent Is Intelligence Reform
Amy Zegart argues that the U.S. intelligence community suffered an adaptation that left it unprepared to deal with the terrorist threat after the Cold War.1 The core of this apparent failure was its inability to reorganize in response to a radically changed international setting, despite recommendations for reform from a number of prominent commissions and members of Congress. Zegart further argues that this bureaucratic sclerosis resulted from t…

Blue Ribbons, Black Boxes
Presidential commissions usually are thought to tackle domestic policy issues, with little effect. This essay challenges the conventional view by finding greater commission variety and systematic differences in the ways presidents utilize commissions in domestic and foreign affairs. The essay classifies commissions into three ideal types: agenda commissions, which generate support for the president's initiatives and target a mass audience; inform…
