A Tradecraft Primer: Structured Analytic Techniques for Improving Intelligence Analysis, Psychology of Intelligence Analysis, Curing Analytic Pathologies & Thinking and Writing: Cognitive Science

4.4/5 ( ratings)

INTRODUCTION
THE “MIND-SET” CHALLENGE
Using the analytic techniques contained in this primer will assist analysts in dealing with the perennial problems of intelligence: the complexity of international developments, incomplete and ambiguous information, and the inherent limitations of the human mind. Understanding the intentions and capabilities of adversaries and other foreign actors is challenging, especially when either or both are concealed. Moreover, transnational threats today pose even greater complexity, in that they involve multiple actors—including non-state entities—that can adapt and transform themselves faster than those who seek to monitor and contain them. Finally, globalization has increased the diversity of outcomes when complex, interactive systems such as financial flows, regional economies or the international system as a whole are in flux.

CONTENTS By Included PUBLICATIONS:

1. Tradecraft Primer: Structured Analytic Techniques for Improving Intelligence Analysis

2. Psychology of Intelligence Analysis

3. Curing Analytic Pathologies: Pathways to Improved Intelligence Analysis

4. Thinking and Writing: Cognitive Science and Intelligence Analysis

Pages: 214
