About the course 'Intelligence and Policymaking'
During this course, you will learn to critically examine the role and challenges of intelligence in decision-making. We will be looking at the relationship between intelligence producers and consumers (heads of state, heads of government, ministers, senior policy officers), with special attention to interactions between both groups when facing national or international security crises. We will explore the intelligence-policy interface from a conceptual and theoretical perspective and apply this knowledge to various contemporary crises.
