ISF International Security Forum

Tuesday, 31 May 2011, 16:00 - 17:30

Hosted by the Center for Security Studies (CSS)

Correction: John Giduck was incorrectly identified as a former  Special Forces soldier in an earlier version of the conference program.  At the beginning of his presentation, he voluntarily clarified that he  had not served in the military. The error is regretted and is herewith  corrected.

This panel will discuss changes in intelligence processes under the theme “The Three Dimensions of Intelligence in the 21st Century: Strategic, Tactical and Non-State.” Each of the speakers will discuss a particular type of intelligence activity, product and organization – the aim being to give ISF attendees an all around view of how intelligence work is being conducted and is likely to change in coming years. Dr Michael Goodman, the official historian of the UK Joint Intelligence Committee, will speak on strategic intelligence and post-Cold War threats. Mr Brian M Jenkins, Senior Advisor at the RAND Corporation, will speak on police intelligence and counter-terrorism. Dr John Giduck will speak on non-state intelligence, focusing specifically on terrorist groups. Between them, these distinguished experts will provide unique insight and additional value- to contemporary scholarly and practical debates.
