Health Security Intelligence
Health Security Intelligence introduces readers to the world of health security, to threats like COVID-19, and to the many other incarnations of global health security threats and their implications for intelligence and national security. Disease outbreaks like COVID-19 have not historically been considered a national security matter.While disease outbreaks among troops have always been a concern, it was the potential that arose in the first half of the twentieth century to systematically design biological weapons and to develop these at an industrial scale, that initially drew the attention of security, defence and intelligence communities to biology and medical science.This book charts the evolution of public health and biosecurity threats from those early days, tracing how perceptions of these threats have expanded from deliberately introduced disease outbreaks to also incorporate natural disease outbreaks, the unintended consequences of research, laboratory accidents, and the convergence of emerging technologies.This spectrum of threats has led to an expansion of the stakeholders, tools and sources involved in intelligence gathering and threat assessments.This edited volume is a landmark in efforts to develop a multidisciplinary, empirically informed, and policy-relevant approach to intelligence-academia engagement in global health security that serves both the intelligence community and scholars from a broad range of disciplines.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Intelligence and National Security.

National Security Intelligence and Ethics
This volume examines the ethical issues that arise as a result of national security intelligence collection and analysis. Powerful new technologies enable the collection, communication and analysis of national security data on an unprecedented scale.Data collection now plays a central role in intelligence practice, yet this development raises a host of ethical and national security problems, such as privacy; autonomy; threats to national security and democracy by foreign states; and accountability for liberal democracies.This volume provides a comprehensive set of in-depth ethical analyses of these problems by combining contributions from both ethics scholars and intelligence practitioners.It provides the reader with a practical understanding of relevant operations, the issues that they raise and analysis of how responses to these issues can be informed by a commitment to liberal democratic values.This combination of perspectives is crucial in providing an informed appreciation of ethical challenges that is also grounded in the realities of the practice of intelligence. This book will be of great interest to all students of intelligence studies, ethics, security studies, foreign policy and international relations.

Why are intelligence agencies called intelligence services?
Intelligence agencies are called intelligence services because their primary function is to gather, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information. This information is used to support national security and decision-making processes. The term "intelligence" refers to the collection and analysis of information related to potential threats, security risks, and other relevant issues. Therefore, these agencies are referred to as intelligence services to emphasize their role in providing critical information to support the security and interests of a nation.

How does emotional intelligence relate to intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions, as well as understand and influence the emotions of others. It is often considered a separate form of intelligence from traditional cognitive intelligence, such as problem-solving and logical reasoning. However, emotional intelligence can complement and enhance cognitive intelligence by helping individuals navigate social interactions, manage stress, and make better decisions. In this way, emotional intelligence is a valuable aspect of overall intelligence that can contribute to success in both personal and professional settings.

What is more important: Intelligence or emotional intelligence?
Both intelligence and emotional intelligence are important in their own ways. Intelligence helps in problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making, while emotional intelligence helps in understanding and managing emotions, building relationships, and empathizing with others. Both types of intelligence are valuable and can complement each other to lead to overall success and well-being. Ultimately, a balance of both types of intelligence is ideal for navigating various aspects of life effectively.

Can one lose high intelligence or above-average intelligence?
Intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While it is possible for certain conditions or injuries to impact cognitive function, such as traumatic brain injury or neurodegenerative diseases, it is generally not common for someone to lose high intelligence or above-average intelligence. However, factors such as lack of mental stimulation, poor health, or substance abuse can potentially impact cognitive abilities over time. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and engage in activities that stimulate the mind to preserve cognitive function.

-
Is intelligence decreasing?
There is no definitive answer to whether intelligence is decreasing overall. Some studies suggest that average IQ scores have been increasing over time, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. However, other research indicates that certain cognitive abilities may be declining due to factors such as environmental pollution, lifestyle changes, and decreased physical activity. It is important to consider multiple factors and perspectives when evaluating trends in intelligence levels.
-
Is intelligence inherited?
Intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While some studies suggest that there is a genetic component to intelligence, it is not solely inherited. Environmental factors such as education, nutrition, and upbringing also play a significant role in shaping a person's intelligence. Therefore, while genetics may contribute to a person's potential for intelligence, it is not the sole determining factor.
-
Is intelligence contagious?
Intelligence is not contagious in the traditional sense of being able to spread from one person to another like a virus. However, being around intelligent and motivated individuals can inspire and motivate others to strive for greater intellectual achievements. Additionally, engaging in stimulating conversations and activities with intelligent individuals can help to expand one's own knowledge and cognitive abilities. Ultimately, while intelligence itself may not be contagious, the behaviors and attitudes of intelligent individuals can certainly have a positive influence on those around them.
