NATO science for peace and security series. Sub-series E, Human and societal dynamics

Abstract

The perceived post-ISIS era poses several challenges to intelligence and security authorities. In this contribution to a conference workshop eight lessons for strengthening the navigation capacities of intelligence services will be suggested that can make intelligence more relevant in the future. The lessons are both of a fundamental and practical nature and range from reflections about the origins of threats to the institutionalization of ethics support and to professional practices.
