| Summary |
By investigating the institutionalization of open source, this book exposes the inner workings of the U.S. intelligence bureaucracy: its organizational assumptions, imperatives, and turf wars. This book provides case studies of institutional change within settings where the stakes for officials, policy makers, and citizens are extraordinarily high. Intelligence stakeholders confront a complex environment characterized by risk, urgency, competing priorities, changing assumptions, and new and unfamiliar open source technologies and practices, yet there has been little discussion of how these conditions influence the production of intelligence or relate to the deliberative principles of a democratic society. By investigating how open source laws, policies, and practices are developed, maintained, or transformed, this book enhances public understanding of contemporary U.S. intelligence and national security affairs. The book was written for students and researchers in the fields of communication, intelligence studies, public administration, political science, and security studies, and provides an example of scholarship conducted at the intersection of communication, organization, and intelligence studies. |
