Question

What role does collaboration play in the intelligence community, and what organization is responsible for collaboration among intelligence agencies?  What makes this process difficult. 

Answer 1

Collaboration helps make communication easier. It facilitates cooperation and helps achieve a win-win situation. All the parties involved in the project are benefitted. Also, any shortcomings , if any are compensated by others. Thus, there is a stability in the intelligent community. The most important aspect is that these intelligence agencies all work towards making the world a better and safer place to live.

These intelligence agencies collaborate with each other as well as governments of all nations towards ensuring national and world safety. They have special agents which help achieve this task, they detect terrorist or illegal activities and destroy the root causes of these activities. Thereby contributing towards making world a more safe place to live.

The collaboration process may be difficult. The reason being, the different intelligence agencies may have different priorities. For example one agency may focus on terrorist activities in the middle east Asia, while one may focus on interstate illegal activities, yet another may focus on illegal activities in the underdeveloped nations of the world.
