Conflict and Cooperation in Intelligence and Security Organisations

This book provides an institutional costs framework for intelligence and security communities to examine the factors that can encourage or obstruct cooperation.

The governmental functions of security and intelligence require various organisations to interact in a symbiotic way. These organisations must constantly negotiate with each other to establish who should address which issue and with what resources. By coupling adapted versions of transaction cost theories with socio-political perspectives, this book provides a model to explain why some cooperative endeavours are successful, whilst others fail. This framework is applied to counterterrorism and defence intelligence in the UK and the US to demonstrate that the view of good cooperation in the former and poor cooperation in the latter is overly simplistic. Neither is necessarily more disposed to behave cooperatively than the other; rather, the institutional costs created by their respective organisational architectures incentivise different cooperative behaviour in different circumstances.

This book will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies, organisational studies, politics and security studies.

James Thomson has worked within the intelligence and security spheres for over 30 years and is based in the Middle East. He received his PhD from Brunel University, UK.

After spending much of my career at the operational ends of the intelligence and security spheres, the book I had intended was largely born of frustration with apparently self-inflicted barriers to delivering what I believed should be the straightforward functions of supplying actionable intelligence and, as a result, improved levels of security. I assumed that a common cause across the various communities and levels was involved and that I understood what that cause was.

Instead, having had the privilege of seeing at first hand security and intelligence professionals from various organisations and countries working at all levels and under all sorts of conditions, and later the senior civil servants and politicians who wrestled with trying to balance different threats and demands, I found that each part of the machinery was doing something different from the others. Counterintuitively, the organisations that enjoyed unique responsibilities seemed to work with others better than those with roles that overlapped. It was coordination that mattered. This was particularly obvious when new threats emerged, but that was precisely when it seemed most difficult to achieve.
