Resumen de The role of strategic intelligence in the modern world
The aim of this chapter is to explore what is meant by strategic intelli-gence in the early twenty-first century. Created during the Cold War, de-cision-makers� intelligence needs were faced by intelligence structures focused on avoiding strategic surprises. Generating real knowledge of the global scenario and even trying to modify it is a task that is now re-quired by the intelligence agencies. Monitoring the environment without falling into the fallacy that technology can work by itself without the as-sistance of the policy maker, who must tell them where and what to look at, would be a fundamental error in the construction of a new model of intelligence. This new model will have economic intelligence as one of its key elements and will represent the struggle between nations and global corporations at the beginning of this century.
