About the course 'Making Friends and Influencing People: International Cooperation and Covert Action'

This course explores two of the most sensitive aspects of nation states’ intelligence and security communities in the international system: international cooperation, or ‘liaison’; and covert action. International cooperation takes many forms – from basic sharing of intelligence, to security assistance, to ‘clandestine’ diplomacy – in response to and in order to meet a range of security and political requirements. Similarly, governments have regularly interfered in the affairs of foreign states and societies in an unacknowledged manner to influence their thinking, behaviour, and policies, ranging from unattributable propaganda to paramilitary operations and assassinations.

While these two sensitive fields of statecraft have their own unique characteristics and intended outcomes, they also overlap through the development and use of clandestine international friendships to influence partners and proxies as much as to leverage their support. Considerations of agency and control also underpin both. And both carry not only operational but also political, legal, and ethical risks, including complicity in human rights violations and challenges to democratic norms of oversight and accountability.
