Courcy's Intelligence Service is an early warning service founded in 1934 to meet the intelligence needs of British and American businesses in the turbulent years leading up to World War II.

Over nearly 80 years, Courcy's Intelligence Service has evolved into an essential early warning resource for top government officials, senior business executives, foreign-affairs professionals, and global investors.

Courcy's Intelligence Service provides comprehensive strategic and political risk-analysis as events and clients' needs dictate. With this fundamental objective in mind, the Courcy's Intelligence Service is comprised of six separate resources:

1) Courcy's Intelligence Brief. The central component of the Courcy's Intelligence Service is our weekly briefing: Courcy's Intelligence Brief (first published in December 1938 as the monthly Intelligence Digest). 

Issued by 8.00 pm London time every Wednesday, Courcy's Intelligence Brief is delivered electronically for maximum utility. It is also available online through the Courcy's Intelligence Service website, with a fully searchable archive.

Courcy's Intelligence Brief provides insiders' intelligence and analysis on global risk factors that could affect the vital interests of governments, corporations, and global investors. It provides regular insiders' intelligence on key issues such as:

- The rise of China and the struggle for influence in Asia
- The weakening of US hegemony
- Europe's struggle for identity and influence 
- The Middle East in turmoil
- The new scramble for Africa
- The struggle for power in Central Asia
- Terrorism and weapons of mass destruction

Courcy's Intelligence Brief is edited by JKC de Courcy, the chief executive of Intelligence Research Ltd. Joe de Courcy has 30 years of experience in risk analysis, and he can boast an unrivalled record of accurate intelligence analysis that includes:

*** Revealing in January 1990, seven months before the event, that Iraq had drawn up plans for an invasion of Kuwait.

*** Warning in October 1995, two weeks before his assassination, about a likely attack by Jewish extremists on Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

*** Revealing in February 1998 the creation by Osama bin Laden of his World Islamic Front for Jihad against the Jews and Crusaders - and warning of bin Laden's plans for an escalating campaign of terror which began with the embassy bombings in Africa on 7 August 1998 and escalated to the 9/11 attacks on the US.

*** Forecasting in March 2004 that the demographic pressures building in North Africa would lead to a social explosion unless "significant political progress is made...particularly in Egypt".

2) Future Threats Monitor

All too often, governments, businesses, and investors become transfixed by today's problems, overlooking serious dangers (and opportunities) appearing on the horizon until it is too late.

Courcy's Intelligence Service seeks to overcome this natural tendency through its horizon-scanning service - Future Threats Monitor.  Each month, Future Threats Monitor provides thought-provoking insights into emerging risk.

CourcyInt's future threats team has extensive experience working with the UK government and EU on emerging risks.  Drawing on this expertise, Future Threats Monitor analyses such important emerging risk factors as cyber-warfare, the open-ended development of science, competition for natural resources, new trends in extremism, demographics, and far more besides.

It is a service that no government, major corporation, or international investor should be without.

3) Courcy's Special Alerts

Courcy's Intelligence Service is dedicated to ensuring that clients are always fully briefed on sudden developments that might affect their vital interests.

This is why, whenever we receive intelligence on a development that is too time-sensitive to await the next weekly Briefing, we send out immediate Courcy's Special Alerts with details of the development and our first-take analysis. We may send out three in one day when some major event occurs - or just three in a month when no significant new developments are occurring.

4) Courcy’s Intelligence Centre

Courcy’s Intelligence Centre is an online intelligence database giving clients 24/7 monitoring and analysis of the world's key strategic driving forces.

The Courcy’s Intelligence Centre draws on CourcyInt's global resources to help clients monitor such crucial topics as Islamist radicalism, the rise of China, Russia's future, the scramble for energy resources, and many other key strategic issues.

5) Client Response Unit

Inevitably reports and briefings that appear in either Courcy's Intelligence Brief or Future Threats Monitor are written with the needs of all our clients in mind. So our Client Response Unit is for clients who would like elaboration or clarification, from their own perspective, on any issue raised in any CIS report.

Clients may also call or email the Client Response Unit to ask for our first-take analysis on any breaking news story.

6) Personal Briefings

Finally, we recognize that sometimes the only answer is to talk one-to-one, and that is why all Courcy's Intelligence Service clients are entitled to quarterly personal telephone briefings with CIS director Joe de Courcy and/or its chief analyst Anton Dittner.

For clients visiting London, provided schedules coincide and sufficient warning is given, a special face-to-face briefing may be arranged.
