Description:

The resurgence of authoritarianism in the 21st century coincides with

transformations in intelligence that offer states greater surveillance

capabilities than any other era of history. This special issue will explore

intelligence in non-democratic regimes, with a focus on case studies, to

elicit insights on how these non-democratic intelligence cultures and

practices might harness intelligence in the future.

Contributions may include:

  • The role of new technology in domestic intelligence or surveillance by non-democratic states (including the newly-developed digital authoritarianism practices).

  • The influence of society, culture, and history on intelligence in non-democratic regimes and vice versa.

  • The pressure or influence of outside states, including allies, adversaries, or patrons, on intelligence by non-democratic regimes.

  • Areas of continuity or discontinuity in the transition from a non-democratic to a democratic state.
