is book represents a synthesis of past academic scholarship updated

to reect modern developments in national security review. I repro-

duce, with modications, modest portions of past scholarly work

while also oering new research. Since writing these materials, I have

participated in national security review. at work as a review profes-

sional has aected how I perceive democratic regulation of the security

services. However, this book does not refer to, nor depend in any way,

on any classied information or any information not already in the

public domain. It also bears noting that my positions in this book

are my own and do not reect those of the institutions I am aliated

with, including the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency

(NSIRA).

A book is a village. I am grateful for the many conversations with

colleagues in government and academia who have inuenced my

thinking. I want to thank especially Kent Roach and Leah West for

our scholarly partnerships over the years and for their support in let-

ting me build on our past work in this book. A huge thank you also

to Stephanie Carvin, who set aside her own scholarly projects to go

through every chapter in this book and make it better. As always, my

warm thanks to the crack team at Irwin Law, especially Je Miller and

Lesley Steeve for their support of this project. anks also to Leanne
