Security and intelligence agencies have been monitoring schools and universities closely, as they have become key targets for extremism and counter-terrorism. The relationship between education and national security is not new, and it extends into open and covert, even secret territories.This book explores the reasons why educational systems have become so closely intertwined with the intelligence community. It acknowledges the genuine political and security concerns that have led to this relationship and explains why it extends beyond contemporary concerns with counter-terrorism. The book argues that this is an intellectual challenge as well as a security struggle.Education, Security, and Intelligence Studies critically engages with multi-disciplinary perspectives on the complex interface between systems of secret and covert national security and intelligence and open systems of national education. It delves into difficult-to-access and often closely guarded aspects of public life, providing the groundwork and theoretical modeling for research into the institutional and epistemological interconnectedness between universities and the security and intelligence agencies.This book was originally published as a special issue of the British Journal of Educational Studies.\n Weight: 270g\n Dimension: 156 x 231 x 18 (mm)\n ISBN-13: 9780367251727\n \n Show more
