| Summary |
Featuring 32 countries (such as Albania, Belgium, Croatia, Norway, Latvia, Montenegro), Handbook of European Intelligence Cultures provides insight into a number of rarely discussed national intelligence agencies for a comparative study that offers hard to find information into one volume. The contributors, who are all experts from the countries discussed, address the intelligence community rather than focusing on a single agency. Each entry looks at the environment in which an organization operates, its actors, and cultural and ideological climate, to cover both the external and internal fact |
