The Intelligence Review | volume 4 | issue 7 |
The volume is the product of a transatlantic collaboration between the Chanticleer Intelligence Brief (CIB) and the European Intelligence Academy (EIA), a network of intelligence studies scholars, specialists and students, who are dedicated to promoting collaboration between Europe and the United States in intelligence scholarship and research. As always, the contents of this latest volume of The Intelligence Review are both timely and insightful. Analyst Ryan Lawrence examines a series of recent developments surrounding the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which is arguably Mexico’s most powerful. Tyra Bjorlo discusses the highly overlooked issue of the rising importance of women in Salafi-jihadist groups, with particular reference to the Islamic State. Kyle Brossard focuses on the ongoing war against maritime piracy in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Guinea. Morgan Clasgens brings us up to speed on the current state of the Pakistani Taliban, and considers their future prospects. Audrey Oien evaluates the current and projected status of relations between Russia and China. Joseph Cain focuses on the National Liberation Army, a Colombia-based armed militant group with an increasing presence in Venezuela. And Madison Scholar considers the national-security implications of marijuana legalization in the United States.

summer of 2018, RIEAS hosted over 20 members of Coastal
Carolina University’s Intelligence and National Security Studies
program in Athens, Greece, where they attended the EIAsponsored
workshop entitled “Illicit Antiquities Smuggling and
Organized Crime”. The workshop was led by government officials
and leading experts from the police and security services. We
hope to have an opportunity to repeat this fruitful exchange in
the future.
The work of the young scholars at Coastal Carolina University’s
intelligence program is at the heart of RIEAS’ efforts, and
reflects the goals and mission of the EIA. We are therefore
honored to support the superb effort that has led to this latest
volume of The Intelligence Review.
