NSA’s Dr. Erik Dahl has recently published an article in Intelligence and National Security entitled “Getting beyond Analysis by Anecdote: Improving Intelligence Analysis through the
Use of Case Studies.” Dahl argues that although American intelligence officials have been
trying since the 9/11 attacks to improve the quality of their analysis, they have so far failed
to make much use of one of the most common methods used in the social science: case
study analysis. Through better use of case studies, Dahl believes, the intelligence
community will be able to help policymakers as they wrestle with the many challenges
facing the country.
