Gender, Sexuality, and Intelligence Studies

Meer over het boek

Engaging with intelligence studies through queer theory, this work explores the intersection of espionage and identity. It presents the spy as a unique figure that navigates between military force and diplomatic efforts. The analysis reveals how the intelligence community facilitates leaders in executing covert actions that contradict their democratic ideals, effectively creating dual foreign policies—one public and overt, the other hidden and queer. This innovative approach enriches critical intelligence studies and international relations theory.
