被遗忘的罗杰·希尔斯曼(Roger Hilsman)肯特一直主张决策权力者与情报分析者之间是独立的关系,从而实现独立于国家安全决策者之外的客观的情报分析。但这样会导致情报分析师的贡献在决策过程中被边缘化。希尔斯曼坚决反对肯特的观点,他认为情报分析和决策之间应该紧密相连。知识和行动需要有效地结合,情报分析人员也应该注重相关政策。特别遗憾的是情报研究者们只继承了肯特的观点,过去的60年当中希尔斯曼的观点完全被遗忘。 Forgotten Roger Hilsman Kent has always argued that policymakers and intelligence analysts are independent, allowing for objective intelligence analysis independent of national security policymakers. But this can lead to the intelligence analyst’s contribution being marginalized in the decision-making process. Shilsman strongly opposed Kent’s point of view, he believes that intelligence analysis and decision-making should be closely linked. Knowledge and action need to be effectively integrated, and intelligence analysts should also focus on the relevant policies. It is especially regrettable that intelligence researchers have inherited only Kent’s point of view, which has completely been forgotten in the past six decades.
