Intelligence Analysis Case Studies

Catalog description

Case study research involves taking a deep dive into a particular event, considering all the elements that played a part in its occurrence to interpret and learn from the experience. In this course we will examine the role of the U.S. Intelligence Community in the emergence, sustainment, and eventual victory of the Solidarity Movement in Poland in the 1980?s using a mix of archival and edited works. We will then apply those generalized concepts and lessons to develop an intelligence concept of operations addressing a current national security concern.
