Security and Intelligence: Volume 9, Number 2, 2024

Welcome to the second issue of our 9th volume. In this issue of Security and Intelligence (S&I), scholars examine the U.S. Intelligence Community focusing on China's success, examine democracy in the Middle East, and analyze espionage patterns in World War I. This issue also focuses on comprehensive insights into non-state actors in intelligence, urban warfare, and European security with a focus on the Ukrainian strategic culture. This issue brings a broad range of intelligence considerations across the globe and sets the stage for future research. This issue has also included book reviews of reference texts that would add value to those in the security and intelligence community. Despite an apparent eclectic mix of varied security topics the collection presented in this issue, the articles actually highlight and create a comparative study of the varied and evolving global security environment professionals are faced with today.
