TEACHING FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
1. First Faculty Seminar on the Teaching of Intelligence,
1981
CSI's first seminar for teaching faculty was held in July
1981 at Bowdoin College in Maine. Twenty-three academics, of
various ranks and disciplines, participated in the ten-day
program.
The overall written evaluation was extremely favorable: 18
rated it as a very positive experience, while 3 scored it
positive, and 1 individual was uncertain. There were no
negative ratings. The following comments are representative of
the views expressed by the participants:
...Overall an excellent forum. From my perspective,
very enlightening and interesting.
...The blending of theory, (academic) insights, with
practice was wonderful.
...A fine high intensity atmosphere and interaction.
Lots of learning.
...Without question, the best seminar I've ever attended.
Participant comments on such specific parts of the seminar
as the strengths and weaknesses of each lecturer, sessions on
teaching the subject, source materials, and so on were equally
favorable.
2. Impact of First Bowdoin Seminar
Of the 23 participants in the first seminar, 8 now are
teaching entire courses on intelligence, while 10 incorporate
intelligence into courses on foreign policy and international
relations. Two participants who are currently completing their
dissertations have indicated that they intend to offer intelligence
courses when they begin teaching. One who also edits a journal
has reported that he now regularly incorporates intelligence-
related topics in the publication.

3. Applications for Second Bowdoin Seminar, July 1982
Although the deadline for applications is still one month
away, we already have over 50 high-quality completed applications.
Nominations have been solicited from key academics in the national
security area, as well as the various service schools, and the
many organizations and institutions with whom NSIC works
regularly in the course of its national security education
activities. Additionally, "advertisements" were placed in
P.S., a professional journal of the American Political Science
Association; the Heritage Foundation's Newsletter; ISA Notes, a
publication of the International Studies Association; Armed
Forces and Society; the American Bar Association's monthly
Intelligence Report; and the Inter-University Seminar Newsletter.
Several 1982 applicants have mentioned that they are
applying on the basis of very positive reports they received
about the first seminar. We anticipate that we will again be
in a position to select from a wide variety of ranks and
disciplines, a feature which Bowdoin I participants especially
praised, and mentioned as being very significant to the overall
value of the seminar.
4. International Studies Association
The International Studies Association, the major professional
organization for international affairs teachers with membership
in the US and abroad, has asked the Consortium to assist in
institutionalizing teaching about intelligence. Specifically,
it was agreed that Roy Godson and Richard Shultz of CSI would
prepare a special issue of ISA Notes on "Teaching Foreign
Intelligence," based on the experience of Bowdoin I. This is
to include a syllabus, a review of the literature and teaching
resources available. This 30-page issue will be published in
February 1982 and distributed to worldwide membership of the
Association. CSI also,-will be distributing this special issue.

5. Two-Day Regional Faculty Seminars
Based on the response to Bowdoin I, and recognizing that
Bowdoin II can reach a maximum of 25 participants, CSI will
sponsor abbreviated versions in "two-day seminars" for
university faculty in various geographic regions. The first
one will take place this April in Chicago. The "two-dayer"
will be co-sponsored by the Inter-University Seminar on Armed
Forces and Society (IUS). IUS is an association of academic,
professional military, and civilian defense officials who share
a common interest in the various elements of civil military
relations and national security policies. According to the IUS
seminar coordinators, they have received quite a number of
inquiries about the seminar already. A second "two-dayer," to
be held in the Southwest during the Fall of 1982, is in the
planning stage. We believe these two-day seminars will allow
CSI to reach the much larger constituency which has expressed
interest in our work.
6. The Intelligence Requirements for the 1980's
This five-volume series is increasingly being used by
college teachers. It is also in use at professional military
schools, as well as various government agencies both in the US
and in Europe. Approximately 17 colleges and service schools
have adopted the books for use in courses.
Elements of Intelligence, the first volume in the series,
has sold out two printings and we are currently considering a
revised updated edition. The second volume, Analysis and
Estimates, is about to go to a second printing.
We are also beginning to receive many requests from the US
and abroad for our bibliographies and other classroom-related
materials.
