Comparative Intelligence Systems: Foreign Intelligence and Security Cultures

IWP 622
Four credits

This course is designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of the intelligence and counterintelligence systems of selected foreign states, as contrasted with the intelligence and counterintelligence traditions of the United States. It examines the uniqueness of these intelligence/counterintelligence cultures, the manner in which they influence the domestic and foreign policies, strategies, and general behavior of these countrie s.

The course is designed to: (1) demonstrate how intelligence/counterintelligence operates in authoritarian or totalitarian systems; (2) examine the operational traditions of intelligence/counterintelligence in selected non-authoritarian cultures, as contrasted with the U.S. experience. Finally, the course aims to analyze the integrated and enduring nature of intelligence and counterintelligence in political cultures far older than that of the U.S.

History of International Relations

This course examines competing visions in the ages-old search for stability and world order. It analyzes the basic premises of world politics and searches through history and culture to discover the lasting realities behind peace and war. In so doing it examines the historic, cultural, and strategic foundations behind such contemporary expressions as "new world order" and "multiculturalism." It concludes with projections about the future evolution of the international system.
