THE OFFERING BELOW PRESENTS A NUMBER OF ATTICLES ON THE FUTURE OF ESPIONAGE.  YOU CAN CLICK ON  ANY OR  ALL OF THE RED TITLES FOR ACCESS TO THE ATRTICLES THAT ARE OF INTEREST YOU.



April 29, 2019 — Washington, D.C.Foreign Policy’s spring issue considers the future of espionage.

Spying has changed. It was once the domain of professionals, but thanks to “a bewildering mix of economic, social, political, and, most of all, technological changes, we have all become potential spooks—and targets,”
FP Editor in Chief Jonathan Tepperman writes.

“The Future of Espionage” explores these changes. We live in a strange new world, in which we carry tiny encrypted computers, more powerful than anything the Cold Warriors dreamed of, in our pockets.

What will these new challenges mean for the future of spying and the security of countries, companies, and people?

Writers and editors are available for interviews.
