Estimative Intelligence in European Foreign Policymaking

Estimative Intelligence in European Foreign Policymaking is a welcome addition to the intelligence literature, and one that moves beyond state-on-state conflict to provide wider examples of regime change, internal stability, and hybrid threats.

--Dan Lomas "Diplomacy & Statecraft"

In conclusion, Estimative Intelligence in European Foreign Policy is an empirical, theoretical and conceptual pillar for the discipline, in the European context and beyond. Rooted in the highest academic rigour and in methodologically sound research, this book is a fundamental read for scholars, practitioners, and decisionmakers of anticipatory foreign policy.

--Lucia Frigo, University of London "Journal of Intelligence History"

This book provides a holistic approach toward estimative intelligence and anticipatory foreign policy--another excellent contribution to the literature on intelligence.

--Sebastiaan Rietjens "International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence"

This book, alongside the extensive research that underpins it, offers an array of noteworthy contributions that deserve attention. [...] In summary, Estimative Intelligence in European Foreign Policy provides a balanced and multifaceted perspective, making it a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and researchers interested in the intricate world of intelligence and its interplay with foreign policy.

--Antonio M. D?az-Fern?ndez, University of C?diz "Intelligence and National Security"

This volume makes a unique empirical contribution to a less trodden yet increasingly critical subject of estimative intelligence in the European context. The contributors go beyond low hanging fruit of issues like cognitive bias to diagnose a broader complex suite of cultural, institutional, and professional factors at the heart of estimative intelligence failure. A must read for scholars, practitioners and policy makers interested in managing strategic surprise.
