Reviews
Well-sourced and precise in its assertions . . . for students and practitioners of intelligence, this will be a valuable addition to their collection. It is also worth mentioning that many of these case studies could stand alone as primers or reference material on individual countries and intelligence services., "The book is a fine contribution to the field of intelligence studies and would be of interest to a wide variety of readers." -- Choice

Synopsis
Intelligence Elsewhere is the first scholarly volume to deal exclusively with the comparative study of national intelligence outside of the Anglosphere and great-power European mainstream. Much of the existing literature on intelligence is heavily focused on the traditional intelligence powers of the ABCA (America-Britain-Canada-Australia) countries, with sidelines into the major European players: France, Germany, and of course Russia. This edited volume will take a different approach. First, it will start with the deep historical and cultural origins of intelligence in several countries of critical importance today: India, China, the Arab world, and indeed Russia, the latter examined from a fresh perspective. In the next section of the book, authors examine modern intelligence practice in countries with organizations significantly different from the mainstream: Iran, Pakistan, Japan, Finland, Sweden, Indonesia, Argentina, and Ghana. These chapters will deal with matters of intelligence history, current practice, and security sector reform., Spying, the "world's second oldest profession," is hardly limited to the traditional great power countries. Intelligence Elsewhere, nevertheless, is the first scholarly volume to deal exclusively with the comparative study of national intelligence outside of the anglosphere and European mainstream. Past studies of intelligence and counterintelligence have tended to focus on countries such as the United States, Great Britain, and Russia, as well as, to a lesser extent, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany. This volume examines the deep historical and cultural origins of intelligence in several countries of critical importance today: India, China, the Arab world, and indeed, Russia, the latter examined from a fresh perspective. The authors then delve into modern intelligence practice in countries with organizations significantly different from the mainstream: Iran, Pakistan, Japan, Finland, Sweden, Indonesia, Argentina, and Ghana. With contributions by leading intelligence experts for each country, the chapters give the reader important insights into intelligence culture, current practice, and security sector reform. As the world morphs into an increasingly multi-polar system, it is more important than ever to understand the national intelligence systems of rising powers and regional powers that differ significantly from those of the US, its NATO allies, and its traditional opponents. This fascinating book shines new light into intelligence practices in regions that, until now, have eluded our understanding., Examines the deep historical and cultural origins of intelligence in several countries of critical importance today: India, China, the Arab world, and Russia. In this title, each chapter reveals insights into intelligence history and practices in regions that, until now, have eluded our understanding.
