The world has its ‘first civil society intelligence agency’. That’s how the founders describe Open Briefing, an organisation set up with Quaker support.  Open Briefing aims to provide comments and research on intelligence, defence and security. There is likely to be a focus on long-term approaches to the root causes of conflict, rather than military and short-term reactions.
