ABSTRACT

In an era of intensified international terror, universities have been increasingly drawn into an arena of locating, monitoring and preventing such threats, forcing them into often covert relationships with the security and intelligence agencies. With case studies from across the world, the Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies provides a comparative, in-depth analysis of the historical and contemporary relationships between global universities, national security and intelligence agencies.

Written by leading international experts and from multidisciplinary perspectives, the Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies provides theoretical, methodological and empirical definition to academic, scholarly and research enquiry at the interface of higher education, security and intelligence studies.

Divided into eight sections, the Handbook explores themes such as:

  • the intellectual frame for our understanding of the university-security-intelligence network;
  • historical, contemporary and future-looking interactions from across the globe;
  • accounts of individuals who represent the broader landscape between universities and the security and intelligence agencies;
  • the reciprocal interplay of personnel from universities to the security and intelligence agencies and vice versa;

  • the practical goals of scholarship, research and teaching of security and intelligence both from within universities and the agencies themselves;
  • terrorism research as an important dimension of security and intelligence within and beyond universities;

  • the implication of security and intelligence in diplomacy, journalism and as an element of public policy;

  • the extent to which security and intelligence practice, research and study far exceeds the traditional remit of commonly held notions of security and intelligence.

 

Bringing together a unique blend of leading academic and practitioner authorities on security and intelligence, the Routledge International Handbook of Universities, Security and Intelligence Studies is an essential and authoritative guide for researchers and policymakers looking to understand the relationship between universities, the security services and the intelligence community.
