Ce este intelligence-ul? Cum îl studiem?

The essay traces the various approaches that researchers have tried in studying the role of intelligence in national and international politics. It considers the many methodological and epistemological strategies that have characterized the study of "intelligence" over the past 50 years and argues that, from its inception, "intelligence" studies have been characterized by interdisciplinarity and openness against different conceptual approaches. Historians, political scientists, sociologists and professionals have all contributed to the burgeoning field of research on intelligence issues. In conclusion, it can be said about intelligence that interdisciplinary research can be one of the biggest advantages of this new subfield and it can be argued the need for an expansion and deepening of the agenda of intelligence studies.
