Intelligence Analysis

The United States, as the world's sole superpower, is seeing its position wane as China and Russia look to reassert themselves as global powers, especially when seeing what is going on regarding Taiwan and Ukraine. These are significant challenges confronting President Biden and his national security team. Moreover, there are many other security issues confronting the United States. This book is an amalgam of open-source intelligence analyses of countries and non-state actors from around the globe that could hurt the United States. Chapters in this work dissect issues using qualitative analysis techniques focusing on secondary data sources in order to provide an unclassified assessment of threats as seen by the United States using two models (the York Intelligence Red Team Model and the Federal Secondary Data Case Study Triangulation Model). The key audience for this book includes the 18 members of the U.S. intelligence community, members of the U.S. National Security Council, allies of the United States, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) looking to provide support abroad, universities with international relations and intelligence analysis programs, and private sector companies considering expanding their operations overseas.
