Intelligence analysis for global politics : concepts and techniques to analyze an uncertain world
Description
Manfredi VALERIANI. Intelligence analysis for global politics : concepts and techniques to analyze an uncertain world. London : Routledge, 2026. Online resource, e-book.
Intelligence Analysis for Global Politics bridges the gap between practice and academia by exploring how analytical techniques developed by practitioners in strategic sectors such as intelligence, defense, business, and development, who regularly deal with global uncertainty, can enrich academic analysis in the fields of politics, international relations (IR), public policy, and business.What lessons can academics learn from those who decode global politics in their daily practice? Over the years, practitioners have developed effective techniques designed specifically to minimize analytical failures, enhance accuracy, and improve readiness for future scenarios. This book introduces these methodologies and explains the underlying premises behind their creation across four strategic sectors - intelligence, defense, business, and development - demonstrating their relevance and applicability within academic contexts.
