    Abstract:
    A number of issues are identified and discussed when it comes to cooperation between academia and governments, including these:

    • Problems of accessing secret data held by governments;
    • Lack of trust between  often left-of-center academics and right-of-center government officials;
    • Short-term policy needs vs. time-consuming in-depth analyses;
    • Academic wish to publish results vs. government apprehension regarding study outcomes that can put government into a bad light in front of public opinion;
    • Competition from think tanks and commercial CT groups staffed by ex-intelligence community members;
    • Legal problems associated with ongoing court cases;
    • Academic open source vs. all source access by intelligence communities;
    • Evaluation studies of CT policies based on primary sources.

    Existing forms of cooperation between government agencies and academia are discussed on the basis of examples from the United States, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands and Israel, and proposals of improve relationships are made.
