Routledge Peacekeeping Intelligence: New Players, Extended Boundaries

Peacekeeping Intelligence: New Players, Extended Boundaries offers a fresh evaluation of how intelligence functions within peacekeeping activities. This book examines the changing dynamics and challenges faced by modern peace support operations within a broad social, economic, and political framework. Readers will learn about the evolving roles of various partners, including coalition forces, law enforcement agencies, development institutions, and non-governmental organisations. The text introduces the concept of Peacekeeping Intelligence (PKI), a specialized form that relies heavily on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). This study explores how the shift toward open sources demands new methods for multi-lateral intelligence sharing across all levels of operation. It is an essential resource for understanding how intelligence integrates into the wider context of global stability and peace support missions.
