Intelligence has consistently been part of international security, but it has not always been part of international studies. Accurate, reliable, and timely intelligence enables policymakers, senior military leaders, and heads of state to make informed decisions about security issues, the use of force, and the formulation of plans to counter strategic threats. Planning, collection, processing, analysis, production, and feedback intelligence achieves these goals, because information is one of the activities that states carry out to protect and advance their strategic interests, which are defined in accordance with the concept of national and international security. Based on the theoretical approach of structural realism, this article seeks to answer the role that intelligence studies play in the field of international security and how the use of intelligence helps states achieve their goals. The hypothesis of the article based on the descriptive-analytical research method states that the integration of intelligence studies in the mainstream of international security research is a vital need, without paying attention to this, we are practically facing an incomplete picture of the field of international security research. The research findings state that intelligence studies has been and remains a small part of the intellectual agenda of international studies, although international politics and security affairs have long dominated that agenda.
