The NIC has done ground-breaking work
on the threat that transnational organized crime poses to US national security. The NIC's products
inform US policymakers, who develop strategies to protect our country from such threats. To view

The National Intelligence Council is pleased to
release
Global Governance 2025: At a Critical Juncture.
The report, produced in conjunction with the
European Union's Institute for Security Studies, is
a follow-on to the NIC's 2008
Global Trends 2025 study. Global Governance 2025
provides an informal contribution to an important
international debate on the way forward for global,
regional, and bilateral institutions and frameworks
to meet emerging challenges such as climate change,
resource management, international migration flows,
and new technologies. While not policy prescriptive,
the report shares a strong belief that global
challenges will require global solutions. The
report's primary purpose is to help policymakers in
the US and abroad to chart a course for effective
management of international problems. In addition,
we hope that it will stimulate a broad-ranging
debate among academic and nongovernmental experts.
Global Governance 2025 is innovative in many
ways. It is the NIC's first unclassified report
jointly developed and produced with a non-US body.
The report is a culmination of a highly inclusive
process that involved consultations with government
officials, media representatives, and business,
academic, NGO, and think tank leaders in Brazil,
China, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, and the
UAE. |
Revolution and Subversion in Latin
America, 1947-1987:
Twenty-three documents selected,
declassified, and published in a
single volume devoted to a regional
theme as part of the National
Intelligence Council's
commitment—where feasible and
appropriate—to tell the story of
intelligence. This volume covers
roughly three phases: Washington's
early concern that Moscow would
extend its influence in the region
after World War II by exploiting
economic difficulties there, the
Castro Revolution in Cuba which
opened furthered such influence, and
the rise of the Sandinista regime in
Nicaragua which presented a
different sort concern. Throughout,
intelligence analysts recognized
that economic and social stresses in
Latin America opened the way to
Communist influence but doubted that
elites would effectively address the
underlying problems of poverty,
social inequality, and injustice.
This volume is the fourth in a
series of similar collections
produced since 2004:
Tracking the Dragon, National
Intelligence Estimates on China
During the Era of Mao, 1948-1976,
Estimative Products on Vietnam,
1948-1975 and
Yugoslavia from "National Communism"
to National Collapse, US
Intelligence Community Estimates on
Yugoslavia, 1948-1990. |
