在将智力研究确立为一个严肃的学术研究领域方面，没有人比克里斯托弗·安德鲁做得更多、时间更长。20世纪60年代中期，作为一名研究生，安德鲁首先意识到解密德国外交信函对一战前法国政治和外交政策的重要性。从那时起，他就带头将智力研究与国际政治史相结合。一系列开创性的专著，从thsamophile delcass<s:1>和《友好协约的形成》（1968年）到《秘密世界：情报史》（2018年），为我们理解两次世界大战、冷战以及法国、英国、俄罗斯和美国的政治和政策制定的起源做出了根本性的贡献。同样重要的是，安德鲁的著作为后世的情报和国际关系历史学家提供了一个概念模板。安德鲁方法论贡献的核心原则之一是，要理解情报的重要性，情报必须始终牢牢地置于其使用的更广泛的政治、文化和战略背景中。安德鲁领先于他的时代，他认识到文化环境在塑造智力的解释和使用方式方面的重要性。他对1914年前的情报和法国政策的贡献是欧内斯特·梅编辑的具有开创性的散文集，它仍然是唯一最好的散文长度，证明了背景对战略情报的解释和使用的重要性。1
No one has done more for longer to establish the study of intelligence as a serious field of scholarly enquiry than Christopher Andrew. As a research student in the mid-1960s Andrew first recognised the importance of decrypts of German diplomatic correspondence to French politics and foreign policy before the First World War. He has ever since led the way in integrating the study of intelligence into the history of international politics. A succession of path-breaking monographs, from Théophile Delcassé and the Making of the Entente Cordiale (1968) to The Secret World: A history of intelligence (2018) have contributed in fundamental ways to our understanding of the origins of the two World Wars, the Cold War and French, British, Russian and American politics and policy-making. Just as importantly, Andrew’s has provided a conceptual template for subsequent generations of historians of intelligence and international relations. Among the core tenets of Andrew’s methodological contribution is the principle that, to understand its significance, intelligence must always be located firmly within the wider political, cultural strategic context in which it was used. Andrew was ahead of his time in recognising the importance of the cultural environment in shaping the way intelligence is interpreted and used. His contribution on intelligence and French policy before 1914 to the seminal collection of essays edited Ernest May is still the single best essay-length demonstration of the importance of context to the interpretation and use of strategic intelligence. 1
