Image and Imagination
Abstract
This chapter explores the ways in which both the intelligence sector and its image in media and culture—and possibly policy and politics, as well—have changed over the years. While agencies, fashions, and favorites come and go, the basic human curiosity and interest in the real and imagined world of intelligence persists all over the globe—irrespective of the political regime type—which in turn may have implications for the intelligence academic-practitioner nexus.
