INTELHUB: Research Hub for Scandinavian Intelligence Studies

INTELHUB will be an innovative, multi-disciplinary research community on intelligence studies. We will focus on the crucial question: How can legitimacy of intelligence services be built, maintained, and restored? The question concerning the legitimacy of intelligence services has been increasingly posed after a long series of intelligence scandals in the Western world over the last decades. In response, INTELHUB will investigate ways to ensure the legitimacy of intelligence services with a focus on the Scandinavian intelligence communities. INTELHUB will focus on topics such as the feasibility of increased transparency and enhanced accountability mechanisms.
