The current debate over U.S. intelligence is missing the larger problem, the intelligence community’s inability to think big

Abstract

Since the end of the cold war, the U.S. intelligence community has been confronted by an increasingly complex and interconnected international system. Josh Kerbel writes that the intelligence community has largely failed to adapt to this new global system, and is still set on trying to understand complex issues with a narrow focus. He argues that the intelligence community must move away from its closed and insular mindset and learn to ‘think big’, taking greater advantage of open-source, unclassified information and interdisciplinary perspectives
