Abstract This forum compares and contrasts national experiences in the development of intelligence studies from the perspective of seven countries: France, Japan, Israel, Romania, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The discussion is structured around a comparative framework that emphasizes five core dimensions that, we posit, are essential to the emergence of this subfield: access to relevant government information, institutionalization of research on intelligence and security in a higher education setting, periodic scientific meetings and networks, teaching and learning opportunities, and engagement between researchers and practitioners. The forum demonstrates how researchers working in different contexts and disciplines have overcome similar challenges to broaden our understanding of secret government practices.

Les services de renseignement ont longtemps marqué une défiance envers les « savoirs extérieurs » comme ceux venant du monde académique. Or, l’exploitation de sources ouvertes de plus en plus importantes nécessite des expertises différentes qui peuvent enrichir la culture du renseignement indispensable aujourd’hui.
