Whether we understand intelligence as information for policy maker, a force multiplier or even a tool of reign over the innocents, intelligence has been and will be a critical aspect of security agenda of state and non-state actors alike.Introductory graduate-level course aims to provide students with general understanding of organized intelligence efforts at all variable levels - from tasking to collection, from analysis to decision making.  Students who successfully finish the course should be able to critically evaluate role of intelligence in international relations as well as gain basic insight into current "hot topics" such as outsourcing of intelligence to private sector, issue of covert action, and indiscriminate mass surveillance. The course should also provide students with wider understanding of security agenda of democratic as well as authoritarian states and their intelligence apparatuses. Why intelligence is necessary, how is it regulated, how can various actors defend their interests against intelligence operations of both hostiles and allies and why critical thinking plays significant role in intelligence analysis as well as its inevitable failures?
