International Journal of Intelligence, Security, and Public Affairs

Aims & Scope

Nowadays, intelligence is a key element to prevent threats against the security and the interests of states and citizens all over the world, and an essential function to guarantee the survival and success of companies in a global world.

The International Journal of Intelligence, Security, and Public Affairs (formerly known as Inteligencia y Seguridad: Revista de Análisis y Prospectiva), founded in 2006, began as the first Spanish scientific journal dedicated to the study of intelligence.

It has since then joined Taylor & Francis’ robust stable of intelligence journals and began publishing exclusively in English in 2016.

The journal is characterized by a clear international vocation and perspective.

It aims to disseminate original academic and professional articles on matters related to intelligence applied to security, defense, business and the financial-economic environment.

The journal’s main goal is to investigate and study intelligence for decision making in a broad sense.

It is a meeting point for professionals and academics where they tackle rigorously a wide range of subjects in this field, including issues related to the practice of intelligence in democratic societies.
