The Rise of Intelligence Studies: A Model for Germany?

Abstract

Intelligence Studies have established themselves as a common subject in higher education in the Anglosphere. Germany so far offers no dedicated program in the field. A postgraduate program that promotes an understanding of the role and context of intelligence, strengthens an- alytical skills and deepens subject-matter expertise would combine the best features of various educational models, and provide a real contribu- tion to building a cadre of highly qualified intelligence professionals. In this research report, the authors succinctly document the state of the discipline, present examples of some twelve degree programs, and, fi- nally, develop initial proposals for an intelligence curriculum for German universities.
