Welcome
to the website of the National Intelligence Council. The
NIC is a center of strategic thinking within the US Government,
reporting to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI)
and providing the President and senior policymakers with
analyses of foreign policy issues that have been reviewed
and coordinated throughout the Intelligence Community.
Our work ranges from brief analyses of current issues to
"over the horizon" estimates of broader trends at work in
the world. Although most of our work is for internal government
use, we also produce or commission unclassified
reports, many of which you will find on this website.
HIGHLIGHTS on our Website include: |

Mercyhurst
College Wiki on Global Disease
: This multi-disciplinary wiki represents extensive
research and analysis conducted by Mercyhurst
Master's level Intelligence Studies students on
the strategic impacts of disease on U.S. economic,
political, diplomatic, and military interests.
This project (completed early in 2007) augments
NIC work on the same topic, with 1000+ pages of
well-reasoned and methodologically rigorous analyses
on almost every country of the globe—as
well as transnational implications. This was the
first-ever wiki-based academic support to the
NIC, and we look forward to more such partnerships
in the future.

National Intelligence Estimates on Yugoslavia:
This collection of 34 declassified National Intelligence
Estimates and memoranda represents the United States
Intelligence Community’s most authoritative
analysis of Yugoslavia, spanning four decades from
the 1948 break with the Soviet Union until 1990
and the eve of the nation’s collapse. Over
the years, these estimative products gave Washington
policymakers keen insight into the major currents
driving the maverick state, such as Belgrade’s
fear of Soviet invasion and its need to balance
between East and West, nationalism’s role
as both a unifying and divisive force, and the race
to establish lasting institutions before Tito’s
inevitable demise. It is the third such collection
of declassified national estimative documents produced
since 2004, including Tracking
the Dragon, National Intelligence Estimates on China
During the Era of Mao, 1948-1976 and Estimative
Products on Vietnam, 1948-1975.
