THE APPLICABILITY OF SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS TO SECURITY STUDIES
THE APPLICABILITY OF SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS TO SECURITY STUDIES

Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to a critical analysis of the relationship between intelligence and social scientific research. Moreover, the article focuses on the applicability of systemic theory in intelligence analysis, identifying its main avenues of development and the areas of interest for intelligence services, to maximise results and establish a theoretical framework for evaluating security organisations/structures. The conclusion is that intelligence activities are essentially similar to sociological research and thus strongly influenced/determined by the main theories validated by social and behavioural sciences.
