The dialectic of intelligence power and the limits of strategic action

Abstract

intelligence power is one of the pivotal and central concepts in international politics, power in the traditional (military) sense no longer functions as a central explanatory concept in conflict interactions in the global strategic environment, which is, in fact, reflections of the sluggishness of the nation-state, in addition to that The well-known traditional concept of force, in its origin, basically means violence, while the intelligence force pattern means more power and ability, but less violence. This is based on the ability of the strategic thought of the state to devise strategic patterns and models that can be described as (alternative defense patterns) for national security, and the intelligence power is one of the contemporary patterns of that power.
