Description
The essays in this volume originated from an international conference organised by the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies (CASIS) and held at Ottawa in September 1989. The purpose of the conference was to explore the probable environment in which security and intelligence agencies would function in the next decade. While the central focus of the volume is on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, its history, function and future, there are comparative studies of the British, American and Australian systems as well.
