Course Title:
THE EVOLUTION OF THE US INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY SINCE 1947
Course Number:
DAFF 25A77
Course Description:
Intelligence is an underlying and critical factor in the conduct of foreign policy. The US intelligence community is a case in point. From the Vietnam War to the Irangate up until the invasion of Iraq and the killing of Osama Bin Laden, intelligence has played a crucial role in US policy in the second half of the 20th and early 21st Century. Yet, intelligence is elusive: the strength of the US intelligence apparatus does not always bring success in analysis and operations, and globalization as well as emerging technologies seem to question the added-value of intelligence bureaucracies. This class will explore US intelligence history to discuss intelligence practices and challenges. This course will familiarize undergraduate students with the main actors of US intelligence and national security decision-making and the main concepts of the intelligence world and of the field of intelligence studies.
