The governance of covert action: asymmetric power and the British plan to overthrow Saddam. Eason, T. Intelligence and National Security, 36(6):863–880, September, 2021.

Paper doi abstract bibtex This article helps analysts unpack the complex policy networks responsible for making decisions on the use of covert action. It does this by using the Asymmetric Power Model as a lens for studying Britain’s plan to instigate a coup against Iraq in 2001. From that, this article offers new insights into the influence that SpAds and intelligence leaders can have within the covert action network. It also offers insights into the role of agency and structure in intelligence-policymaker relations and how these concepts can allow policymakers to sidestep formal structures in favour of a more informal approach to covert action.
