| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Both US intelligence officials and intelligence studies scholars claim that 'organizational culture' is a cause of 'intelligence failure' and the proper locus of post-9/11 intelligence reform efforts. This essay uses a postmodern perspective to demonstrate how the dominant discourse of 'organizational culture' shapes stakeholders' understandings of accountability and what constitutes necessary, correct, or effective intelligence reform. By exploring institutional struggles over the meanings of 'culture' and 'accountability', this essay calls for reconsideration of the ways US intelligence officials and intelligence studies scholars talk about 'organizational culture' vis-a-vis post-9/11 intelligence reform. |
