The Intelligence Review | volume 3 | issue 5 |

This volume is the product of a collaboration between the European Intelligence Academy (EIA) and the Chanticleer Intelligence Brief (CIB), a pre-professional body supported by the Department of Politics at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina, United States. Six CIB analysts tackle some of the most pressing and timely questions confronting intelligence observers today. Topics in this issue include the current and projected strength of the al-Shabaab militant group in East Africa, the future of the Iran nuclear agreement, and the current state of Mexico’s drug cartels. The issue also contains an analysis of the rising tension between the European Union and the government of Poland, as well as of the complex relationship between the United States and Cuba. The compendium concludes with an eye-opening report on the state of Middle Eastern linguistics in the United States Intelligence Community in the post-9/11 era.

etween intelligence scholars in the EU and scholars in other parts<br />

of the world. Furthermore, the EIA highlights the work of emerging<br />

postgraduate and undergraduate scholars in the intelligence studies<br />

field and provides a forum for them to exchange ideas and pursue<br />

relevant research. Ultimately, one of the main goals of the EIA is to<br />

connect young scholars who focus their undergraduate and postgraduate<br />

studies on intelligence in Europe, the United States, and the<br />

rest of the world.<br />

With that in mind, I salute the fifth <strong>issue</strong> of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> <strong>Review</strong>, Vol.3,<br />

No.5, November 2018, edited by Professor Joseph Fitsanakis of Coastal<br />

Carolina University’s <strong>Intelligence</strong> and National Security Studies program,<br />

and published by the EIA in association with the Chanticleer<br />

<strong>Intelligence</strong> Brief. My heartfelt congratulations go to all the young<br />

scholars whose work has been included in this seminal publication.<br />

Dr. John Nomikos<br />

Director, European <strong>Intelligence</strong> Academy<br />
