Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the intelligence – policy makers nexus as a critical part of modern government and also on the politicization of intelligence as a threat to the redibility of intelligence. Firstly, we will argument the decline of covert intelligence and the emergence of white intelligence; then, we will examine the use of Open Source Intelligence in electoral marketing strategies of the political intelligence think thans, but also the oligarchizing impact of political intelligence upon intra-partisan dynamics. A key-issue of the paper is about the two normative theories that animate the debate on the best practices in the intelligence – policy nexus: the Kent approach and the actionable intelligence theory.
