Intelligence, Preparedness and Resilience

Intelligence is central to anticipation, proactive preparedness, response, and resilience to security threats and crises. Threats and risks assessments and other analytic products are key for informing comprehensive preparedness and response planning, strategies, and actions. Assessing capacity/capability needs and gaps is key for proactively addressing specific threats. Moreover, national intelligence systems and intelligence services need to respond and adapt institutionally to cope with changes in the security environment and to counter hostile intelligence activities from adversaries, both state and non-state actors.

 This special issue welcomes relevant submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Intelligence applied to preparedness, resilience and response to security threats
