Description xiii, 345 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (p.
297-315) and index.
Summary Instead of focusing on institutional
reform, Uslaner suggests that the roots
of corruption lie in economic and
legal inequality and low levels of
generalized trust and poor policy
choices. Economic inequality, he
argues, provides a fertile breeding
ground for corruption and, in turn,
leads to further inequalities.

Summary The cross-border sharing of
intelligence is fundamental to the
establishment and preservation of
security and stability. The American
Biblioteca de Administración Pública

invasion of Iraq in 2003 was based
in part on flawed intelligence, and
current efforts to defeat al Qaeda
would not be possible without an
exchange of information among
Britain, Pakistan, Indonesia, and the
United States. While critical to
national security and political
campaigns, intelligence sharing can
also be a minefield of manipulation
and maneuvering, especially when
secrecy makes independent
verification of sources impossible.
In The International Politics of
Intelligence Sharing, James Igoe
Walsh advances novel strategies for
securing more reliable intelligence.
His approach puts states that seek
information in control of other
states' intelligence efforts. According to
this hierarchical framework, states
regularly draw agreements in
which one power directly monitors
and acts on another power's
information-gathering activities-a
more streamlined approach that
prevents the dissemination of false
"secrets." In developing this
strategy, Walsh draws on recent
theories of international cooperation
and evaluates both historical and
contemporary case studies of
intelligence sharing. Readers with
an interest in intelligence matters
cannot ignore this urgent, timely,
and evidence-based book.
Contents Understanding intelligence sharing :
curveball and KSM -- Transatlantic
intelligence sharing during the Cold
War -- Intelligence sharing for
counterinsurgency : Vietnam and
Colombia -- Intelligence sharing in
the European Union : institutions
are not enough -- Intelligence sharing
and U.S. counterterrorism policy --
Findings and implications.
Subjects Intelligence service -- International
