520 _aApplies a new intelligence methodology – analysis by contrasting narratives – to Al QaedaCombines theoretical components of critical discourse analysis and securitization theory into the methodology of analysis by contrasting narratives (ACN)Demonstrates that applying ACN can enhance our understanding of complex intelligence problems and therefore strengthen intelligence practiceContributes to the emerging academic debate on the value of interpretivist, reflexivist and critical approaches to intelligence studiesRepresents a major statement in the development of a Critical Intelligence Studies, sitting at the frontline of current researchThis book fills a gap in intelligence studies by setting out a new analytic methodology: analysis by contrasting narratives (ACN). This states that defining an enemy and attempting to counter threats can contribute to the possiblity of that threat manifesting. Peter de Werd applies ACN to the problem the US faced in understanding and responding to the phenomenon of Al Qaeda in the 1990s. He demonstrates how this approach can fill a gap in intelligence studies by enhancing our understanding of complex intelligence problems and strengthening the practice of intelligence analysis. Adopting a critical reflexivist theoretical stance, the book underlines the importance of an integrated approach to interpretation and action, and of a continuous dialogue between intelligence and policy.
