Intelligence and National Security in Africa and the Middle East

Intelligence has long been regarded as a function and an instrument of national power and national security. From supplementing more orthodox forms of diplomacy, to its role in the prosecution of violent conflict, intelligence has played an integral role in the conduct of international relations, as well as ensuring state stability or regime security and survival. Intelligence and National Security in Africa and the Middle East is a series consisting of monographs and edited volumes dealing with several independent but inter-connected areas of intelligence and security research, all with an African and/or Middle Eastern focus. It aims to cover areas of research that traditionally fall outside of the more established realm of intelligence studies, with a continued emphasis upon historical case studies.
