Louise Stanton, lawyer, assistant professor, New Jersey City University, and adjunct professor, political science, New York University, will give the first lecture in this new series (formerly the New Metropolis Lecture Series). Her presentation, "Constitutional Divides in Intelligence Integration in the United States," will explore the paradox between global threats and a state's legal ability to respond to them. Globalization and conditions lead many to believe that lines between foreign and domestic are blurring, that the world is more interdependent and integrated, and that states are no longer the principal actors in international affairs. However, intelligence is still very much about states and the political map of the world shows that geography matters in the constitutional operationalization of intelligence.

Stanton is author of The Civilian-Military Divide: Obstacles to the Integration of Intelligence in the United States. She received a B.A. from Georgetown University, a Ph.D. from Rutgers University, and a J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law.
