Covert Action: National Approaches to Unacknowledged Intervention

Book cover for 'Covert Action'

Congratulations to Professor Rory Cormac on the publication of his co-edited book  (Georgetown University Press). 

The book challenges the conventional narrative on covert action, generally defined as politically motivated and plausibly deniable interference by one state in the affairs of another state.  It brings together leading scholars from around the world to move beyond the American, and wider, anglosphere perspectives to examine covert action practices across states, regime types, and time.

Rory is an expert in Secret Intelligence and Covert Action with a number of publications, including more recently  .  He has provided oral evidence to parliamentary inquiries on foreign interference in both the UK and Australia, and spoken at the UK Cabinet Office, Foreign Office, Home Office, Number 10 and Ministry of Defence, as well as at the US State Department and Pentagon, NATO and the Italian Foreign Ministry.
