About the Book

This edited volume takes a fresh look at the subject of open source intelligence (OSINT), exploring both the opportunities and the challenges that this emergent area offers at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In particular, it explores the new methodologies and approaches that technological advances have engendered, while at the same time considering the risks associated with the pervasive nature of the Internet. Drawing on a diverse range of experience and expertise, the book begins with a number of chapters devoted to exploring the uses and value of OSINT in a general sense, identifying patterns, trends and key areas of debate. The focus of the book then turns to the role and influence of OSINT in three key areas of international security - nuclear proliferation; humanitarian crises; and terrorism. The book offers a timely discussion on the merits and failings of OSINT and provides readers with an insight into the latest and most original research being conducted in this area.

Review :
"This new and fresh perspective on Open Source Intelligence should be a primary textbook in intelligence analysis, international security, and information science classes. The value of OSINT is explained and explored through a sequence of provocative chapters that provide fresh insights into new approaches to this distinctive type of intelligence. The substantive discussions of the impact of social media, and the merits and failings of OSINT in the areas of nuclear proliferation, humanitarian crises and terrorism are exceptional additions to the study and application of OSINT. As the authors clearly point out, the accessibility of open source information has 'had a profound effect on the intelligence community' and 'it has been conferred with a new status and legitimacy in recent years.' This book is a great place to start in understanding OSINT's effect, and the factors that contribute to its effectiveness." - James Breckenridge, Mercyhurst University, USA "In an age dominated by social media, 'big data' and the Internet, Open Source Intelligence has assumed new significance as an area of study and practice. Offering a unique insight into the latest developments and trends in OSINT across a range of disciplines, including counter-terrorism, humanitarian crisis and non-proliferation, this volume is a must-read for academics and practitioners alike." - Michael Goodman, King's College London, UK
