Richard J. Aldrich is a Professor of International Security at the University of Warwick and joined PAIS in September 2007. His main research interests lie in the area of intelligence and security communities. These focus on co-operation between intelligence communities - or 'liaison' - and its role within alliances.
Over the last ten years he has undertaken two case studies of the politics of secret service collaboration which were initiated by a Fulbright Fellowship at Georgetown University. The latter study, entitled The Hidden Hand, examined intelligence co-operation during the Cold War.
Currently, he is leading an AHRC project entitled "Landscapes of Secrecy: The Central Intelligence Agency and the contested record of US foreign policy, 1947-2001". This involves a team of five scholars at the universities of Nottingham and Warwick who are examining the creation of the public record of the CIA in realms such as history, memoirs, novels and film.
