Lessons Learned Project II - historical challenges to contemporary security issues

这是一项AHRC为进一步的“经验教训项目”提供资金的建议。该项目背后的目的是弥合差距，并在学术部门和封闭的情报界之间建立接触。参与可以通过几种方式实现互惠互利：(1)与进行过与情报分析员使用开源数据调查的主题类似的研究的学者进行接触的好处是提供关键的制衡，以及丰富零碎的数据集；(2)学术界与来自封闭情报界的分析员之间的接触为挑战主要基于情报作出的传统智慧和评估提供了一个论坛，并减少了在一个独特论坛上的镜像成像和群体思维；(3)与学术界接触提供了宝贵的分析资源：它可以利用随机抽样和结构化抽样，根据适用于一系列专题的统计数据采集，提供趋势分析；(4)与学术界接触可有助于丰富知识和情报图景；提供因情报报道而空白的信息和知识。

This is a proposal for AHRC funding of a further 'Lessons Learned Project'. The intention behind the project is to bridge the gaps and create engagement between the academic sectors and the closed intelligence community. Mutual benefit from engagement can be derived in several ways: (i) Engagement with academics who have conducted research on similar topics to those being investigated by intelligence analysts using open source data has the benefit of providing critical checks and balances, as well as enrichment of a fragmentary dataset; (ii) Engagement between academia and analysts from a closed intelligence community provides a forum for challenging conventional wisdom and assessments made largely on the basis of intelligence, and to reduce mirror imaging and group think in a unique forum; (iii) Engagement with academia provides a valuable analytical resource: it can provide trends analysis based on statistical data capture applicable to a range of thematic topics using both random and structured sampling; and (iv) Engagement with the academic community may serve to enrich knowledge and the intelligence picture; providing information and knowledge left gapped by intelligence coverage.
