Intelligence services are an important part of public administration as well as in international politics and history. This module offers you another vision of Cold War espionage histories, focusing on such elements as the structure, the role, and the oversight mechanisms of intelligence agencies. You will also focus on the post-Cold War period and how it changed the role of agencies that had originally been developed to fight against the Russian-led communist/imperialist bloc. You will discuss the 9/11 terrorist attacks and how they opened a window for intelligence services to prepare against new threats including: international terrorism, organised crime, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
