National Security and Intelligence

This collection of reports, prepared by students affiliated with the Security & Intelligence Program at The Ohio State University, addresses topics that students see as being relevant to the intelligence community. It spans the globe and a range of concerns. It captures a point in time. Their observations, and how they approach their work, offer a glimpse into the future that is nested in the present and rooted in the past. These insightful orientations will be the foundation from which they will work and, as such, convey insight to what they (and their generation) see as being noteworthy. This collection is edited by Jim Schnell. His career in the U.S. intelligence community has involved assignment to the Defense Intelligence Agency, Special Operations Command/Pacific, Joint Special Operations University, National Security Agency and U.S. Army Culture & Foreign Language Directorate. He is a Fulbright Scholar and has held teaching posts at The Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, Miami University, Ohio University, Ohio Dominican University, Beijing Jiaotong University (China) and Royal University of Phnom Penh (Cambodia).
