Intelligence Law Last Updated Date: 14 Oct 2009 4 Credits, Semester 2 Course Description: This course examines national and international legal regulation of the secret intelligence activities of states. It ranges from historical treatment of spies under the laws of war, to national constraints of contemporary signals intelligence. National case studies will include the United States and Britain. Underlying theoretical questions include the appropriateness of constraints on executive power in times of crisis, and how law that must be public can and should handle activities whose nature must often be kept secret. Printed materials for the class will be distributed, with materials for the first classes also available electronically. A sample reading guide is available here.
