INTL616 - Ethical Challenges in the Intelligence Community
View Academic Calendar
This course examines issues of ethics and morality in the context of Intelligence. It begins with an in-depth critical analysis of the functioning and capability of contemporary U.S. Intelligence from the viewpoint of professional ethics. It then goes on to address the potential for shortcomings and gaps, and discusses firm, coherent solutions. Students will research the moral, psychological and legal issues pertaining to military decision-making in counter-terrorism, homeland security, asymmetric warfare and conventional military campaigns. Following an examination of administrative evil in different contexts and on several historical scales, the course concludes with an evaluation of prevarication and related ethical-moral choices faced in Intelligence, military and civilian life.
