Revision as of 13:27, 27 March 2008

According to a Brunel University biographical note:

Dr. Davies is a political sociologist who specialises in the institutional development, management and coordination of national intelligence agencies. He is Course Director for the highly successful Brunel MA in Intelligence and Security Studies, and is Convenor of the Security and Intelligence Studies Group (SISG). SISG is a specialist group operating under the auspices of the UK Political Studies Association and the British International Studies Association. Between 2003 and 2007 he served as Deputy Director of the Brunel Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies.[1]

Research interests

Dr. Davies' work has focused chiefly on the UK's intelligence machinery, and on comparative analysis between the UK system and that in the United States (as well as elsewhere), and on the role of intelligence in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He is currently completing a major monograph that details his US-UK comparative work (forthcoming from Praeger), the research for which was funded by a 2004-2005 Leverhulme Research Fellowship. On completion of this his next major project will be study of the development of, and prospects for, imagery intelligence in the UK government. In support of his work on intelligence, Dr. Davies also has a research interest in theories of management as applied to intelligence institutions in particular and public management in general. A detailed discussion of Max Weber's concepts of bureaucracy and collegiality underlay his first major research monograph on the organisation of the UK's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6 and the Machinery of Spying. In concert with Professor Anthony Glees he has also published on issues concerning the oversight and control of intelligence agencies, including the book monograph The Open Side of Secrecy: Britain's Intelligence and Security Committee.
With Dr. Robert Dover at Loughborough, he is currently organising an

ESRC-funded seminar series entitled 'Intelligence and Government in the 21st Century' to run over 2008-2009.[2]
