Intelligence systems at the end of the Cold War

First published in 1991, this edited volume records a period when the assumptions guiding security and intelligence work were being reconsidered after the Cold War. Canadian Security Intelligence Service is the central case, with comparative attention to British, Soviet, American, and Australian arrangements. The book’s value lies in its cross-national frame: it places questions about agency change, national security, and intelligence structures alongside one another rather than treating Canada in isolation. Its perspective is rooted in the uncertainties and anticipated changes of the early 1990s, making it a historically situated resource on how intelligence institutions were being understood at that turning point.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying the history of intelligence and espionage
  • Those interested in Canadian security institutions
  • Students comparing British, Soviet, American, Australian, and Canadian intelligence systems
