Summary/Abstract: The concept of national security has undergone substantial change over the past two decades, and the way nation states define national security could evolve even more dramatically in the coming years. This shift has major implications for how nation states treat intelligence information and the mechanisms and strategies they adopt to both protect and disseminate critical information. Nations now must deal with a growing array of threats which argues that new approaches are needed for sharing intelligence – and even publicly available information – across nation-state boundaries.
