Abstract

ABSTRACT This article introduces the importance of John le Carré’s work as a lens to study intelligence and international affairs. We introduce three themes that are developed throughout this issue. First, this issue contributes to methodological debates about how to study cultural artefacts in intelligence and security studies. Second, authors discuss representations of intelligence and underline the porous boundaries between fact and fiction. Third, contributions emphasize the universal character of le Carré’s oeuvre. We argue that fiction is an important line of enquiry since it is one of the most widely shared discourses on intelligence activities.
