My forthcoming book on "The DGSE" is now available for pre-order through Georgetown University Press: press.georgetown.edu/Book/The-DGSE

A super new read from @dvanp.bsky.social and @intnatsecjournal.bsky.social , just out today:

Received a nice surprise in the post today, the amazing new @georgetownup.bsky.social volume on Covert Action edited by the dream team of @magslong.bsky.social, Genevive Lester, @markstout.bsky.social, @dvanp.bsky.social & @rorycormac.bsky.social. Stellar contributors, though Chp 9 seems suspect😉

We are seeking active researchers who can connect the study of intelligence & security to broader scholarly and policy debates.

Deadline: 30 September 2025

🚨 We’re hiring! Due to the continuous growth, the Intelligence and Security research group at Leiden University is looking for a new Assistant Professor in Intelligence & Security.

New piece out with my colleagues Quentin Jalabert and Tom Maguire

@rorycormac.bsky.social @dvanp.bsky.social @markstout.bsky.social Gen Lester and I are super grateful to our amazing group of contributors working with us on this project - 20 substantive chapters!! We learned so much about #covertaction outside of the anglosphere! Coming out in
December 🎄🎉

Many thanks Lewis. Oops, I think we based this point on your (excellent) PhD thesis 😅. I guess we meant foundational not in a historical way but more in terms of what have become common practices.

In this article we:
- Make a distinction between OSINT, OSINF, and OSINV
- Trace the development of OSINT as a community of practice
- Argue against the establishment of a dedicated government agency
- Explore the implications of OSINT's rise on public understanding of security today
