Intelligence and State Surveillance in Modern Societies: An International Perspective

by Frederic Lemieux

Overview

Building on Frederic Lemieux’s previous work exploring how Western state surveillance and intelligence activities have drastically adapted to new domestic and global challenges, this second edition expands on additional dimensions of intelligence and surveillance activities conducted in modern societies.

Featuring new chapters on inter-agency cooperation at both national and international levels, cyber intelligence (CI), the link between intelligence and police cooperation, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and international operations, counterterrorism, and intelligence activities conducted by the United States since September 11, 2001, Lemieux also includes several updates to existing chapters, including the role of AI in intelligence analysis. Delving into how counterterrorism operations have profoundly changed how intelligence activities are conducted by integrating new technologies, new partnerships, and raising new ethical dilemmas, the author also expands on the intelligence operations undertaken in cyberspace to describe the emerging cyber intelligence field.

Offering a compelling understanding of contemporary state surveillance dynamics, this second edition is a timely update that lands at the critical intersection of cutting-edge technology and international security.

Editorial Reviews

This detailed yet jargon-free overview for scholars and advanced students will also be of interest to other readers with a basic understanding of intelligence operations and international affairs. The book explains the contemporary intelligence environment, in which collaborating national and local agencies use surveillance and intelligence to fight crime and terrorism. An introductory chapter gives a historical overview, points to differences between domestic and foreign intelligence, and outlines five intelligence domains. The rest of the book deals with the militarization of intelligence and state surveillance, the global growth of the intelligence-led policing model, intelligence and surveillance technologies, and the private intelligence sector. One chapter is devoted to ethical issues such as privacy, civil liberties, and information leaks. B&w diagrams and summary charts are included.
