The Journal of European and American Intelligence Studies (JEAIS) is published by the Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS). The Journal is an international academic-led scholarly publication that focuses on the field of intelligence and related areas of study and practice. It aims at promoting an international dialogue between diverse perspectives and experiences, based on original research on the broader European and American practice and study of intelligence.

JEAIS is an all-inclusive academic platform that allows junior and senior scholars and practitioners from both the public and private sectors, to share their knowledge, ideas and approach to intelligence studies. By crafting each journal issue through a rigorous and highly selective screening process of potential contributors and an exhaustive review process, the JEAIS mission is three-fold: to provide an equal opportunity for academics and practitioners of intelligence to discuss and challenge ideas, to address existent knowledge gaps by creating new knowledge, and to shape future new debates in intelligence beyond traditional communities of research.
