The Function of Intelligence in Crisis Management

Booknews

Using terrorism as a crisis phenomenon, this study analyzes the function of intelligence failures during the Reagan Administration's Foreign Policy initiatives in Lebanon, 1981-1985. It provides an integrated approach to the theory of the intelligence process and the principles of crisis management, identifying those factors that influence the producer-consumer relationship within the context of the Traditionalist vs. Activist approaches (i.e. The Kent-Kendall debate).
