Constitutional Divides in Intelligence Integration in the United States by Professor Louise Stanton
Abstract: Globalization processes and conditions tempt us to agree that lines between foreign and domestic are blurring, that the world is more interdependent and integrated than in previous times, and that states are no longer the principal actors in international affairs. Today, however, intelligence is still very much about states, and the political map of the world shows that geography matters in the constitutional operationalization of intelligence. The talk explores this paradox between global threats and the state's legal ability to respond to them.
Louise Stanton is a lawyer, Assistant Professor and PreLaw Advisor at New Jersey City University, and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Political Science Masters Program at New York University. Her book, The Civilian-Military Divide: Obstacles to the Integration of Intelligence in the United States, was published by Praeger Security International. Prof. Stanton received her PhD from Rutgers University, JD from Seton Hall University School of Law, and B.A. from Georgetown University.
