This volume is the product of a collaboration between the European Intelligence Academy (EIA) and the Chanticleer Intelligence Brief (CIB), a student-run initiative supported by the Department of Politics at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina, United States. Eleven CIB analysts tackle some of the most pressing and timely questions confronting intelligence observers today. Topics range from the price of oil to political stability in Venezuela, from the territorial cohesion of Iraq to the future of the Islamic State, and many other pressing subjects that feature daily in news headlines. CIB analysts propose carefully crafted and informed forecasts that outline future developments in some of the world's most unpredictable hot spots.

Foreword<br />
<strong>The</strong> Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS) was founded in 2006<br />
with the aim of promoting the understanding of international affairs. Special attention is<br />
devoted to transatlantic relations, intelligence studies and terrorism, European integration,<br />
international security, Balkan and Mediterranean studies, Russian foreign policy as well as<br />
policy-making on national and international markets.<br />
In 2013, RIEAS initiated the European <strong>Intelligence</strong> Academy (EIA) project in order to promote<br />
the field of intelligence studies in European academic institutions. <strong>The</strong> EIA aims to advance<br />
the intelligence profession by setting standards, building resources, sharing knowledge within<br />
the intelligence field, and promoting a strong intelligence culture in European Union member<br />
states. It also promotes cross-border research and scholarship cooperation between intelligence<br />
scholars in the EU and scholars in other parts of the world. Furthermore, the EIA highlights<br />
the work of emerging postgraduate and undergraduate scholars in the intelligence studies field<br />
and provides a forum for them to exchange ideas and pursue relevant research. Ultimately,<br />
one of the main goals of the EIA is to connect young scholars who focus their undergraduate<br />
and postgraduate studies on intelligence in Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world.<br />
With that in mind, I welcome the first copy of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> <strong>Review</strong>, Vol.1, No.1, July 2016,<br />
edited by Professor Joseph Fitsanakis of Coastal Carolina University’s <strong>Intelligence</strong> and National<br />
Security Studies program, and published by the EIA in association with the Chanticleer<br />
<strong>Intelligence</strong> Brief. Well done to all the young scholars whose work has been included in this<br />
publication!<br />
Dr. John Nomikos<br />
Director, European <strong>Intelligence</strong> Academy<br />
