Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security at George Mason University's Schar School for Policy and Government. The Hayden Center provides for the full examination of intelligence and its interplay with US national security, to include:o how it works, what defines success and when it does not, what are its limits, and what the President and key decision makers should realistically expect;the role of intelligence—stealing secrets and providing context—and intelligence professionals in an age of information abundance, particularly in relation to other elements of government and the private sector;o the essential role of espionage in preserving security and liberty in America and providing stability abroad;o the persistent concerns about the politicization of intelligence;oversight and governance of intelligence in an era when demands for transparency are growing and leaks, unauthorized disclosures, and insider threats persist; ando the explosion of technology and how it helps and hinders intelligence. Established in 2017 by General (USAF-Retired) Michael V. Hayden, the only person to serve as both director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, the Hayden Center examines these broader issues as well as more topical and timely concerns of the day, providing recommendations and solutions to decision makers that are based on expert observations gleaned from years of experience.
