The Kent Center,
a component of the employee-only Sherman Kent School for Intelligence
Analysis at CIA University, strives to promote the theory, doctrine,
and practice of intelligence analysis.
One of the Center's
primary goals is to build and share a comprehensive body of professional
knowledge.
The Kent Center
Occasional Papers listed below contribute to the ongoing development
of that body of knowledge, offering an opportunity for intelligence
professionals and interested colleagues-in an unofficial and unfettered
vehicle-to debate and advance the theory and practice of intelligence
analysis.
Statements of
fact, opinion, or analysis expressed in Occasional Papers are those
of the authors. See the
disclaimer below for complete caveats regarding the content
of the papers.
