Open Source Intelligence in a Networked World Anthony Olcott “Olcott’s fascinating new book walks us through this world, where the people responsible for understanding how global events unfold aren’t guntoting secret agents, but linguists, political scholars and media theorists. The surprise twist? Olcott convincingly argues that open source intelligence is vastly undervalued, and likely gives us a better understanding of what’s to come than the secrets most of us assume fuel the intelligence industry.” Ethan Zuckerman, Director, Center for Civic Media, MIT ANTHONY OLCOTT is an Associate at the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy, Georgetown University and a scholar at the Centre for the Study of Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, USA.

The Human Security Agenda
Failed States and Institutional Decay
How Middle Power Leadership Defied U.S. Hegemony Ronald M. Behringer
Myths and Realities of the State, Development, Democracy, Conflict and Terrorism Natasha M. Ezrow
Middle power states, such as Canada or Denmark, are often thought of as ‘followers’ of great powers rather than significant actors in global security. Challenging this view, this book highlights how middle powers have in fact showed great leadership by developing a ‘human security’ agenda that focuses on countering threats to human beings rather than to nation-states. The work examines how coalitions of middle powers have performed through five case studies: the formation of the Multinational Standby High Readiness Brigade for United Nations Operations (SHIRBRIG), the realisation of the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty, the establishment of the International Criminal Court, the regulation of the legal trade in small arms and light weapons, and the adoption of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle. RONALD M. BEHRINGER is a specialist in international and human security from Montreal, Canada.
