A whole of society intelligence approach: critical reassessment of the tools and means used to counter information warfare in the digital age
(Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2021) Ivan, Cristina; Chiru, Irena; Arcos, Rubén
The aim of this paper is to critically reflect on why scholars need to reevaluate the definition of intelligence practices in the 21st century. Our assessment starts with digital communication advancements and their progressive appropriation by power agents to the benefit of propaganda, disinformation, and political manipulation. While analyzing the very nature of intelligence as being ‘institutionally’ and ‘nationally’ constructed, the paper advances a new, deeply societal model in which intelligence is de-reified and approached as key instrument in diverting the use of digital communication to de-construct polarizing narratives.
Diversity in Intelligence: Organizations, Processes, and People
(Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2022) Chiru, Irena; Ivan, Cristina; Arcos, Rubén
With the advent of new technologies and the accelerated changes in the security arena, it has become apparent that intelligence organizations need to develop learning, self-reflective, and competitive working environments and communities of practice with a distinct set of values and norms that may go beyond the cultural values and practices of the twentieth century. One of the values that needs to be further explored and integrated is diversity. A look at the literature and policies in the field shows that in certain parts of the world, consistent steps have been made toward investigating the implications of diversity and inclusion as setting goals for reconceptualizing human resources and internal culture strategies. This introductory study aims to introduce readers to the current debates on diversity and inclusion, as well as offer a short glimpse at the questions that animated the authors who agreed to contribute to this special issue.
