Abstract
[Purpose/significance] To summarize the implementation of the US Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act(IRTPA), and to comprehensively examine the contemporary disputes surrounding the IRTPA,and the power expansion and checks and balances of US intelligence agencies, is beneficial for further understanding the evolution of the US intelligence legal framework and its impact on the national intelligence system and mechanisms. [Method/process] This paper, from the perspective of stakeholder theory, combines methods of literature analysis and case study to summarize and analyze the basic situation, development process, and contradictory disputes of IRTPA. [Result/conclusion] The IRPTA addresses the systemic governance of intelligence dysfunction issues and vigorously promotes the intelligence integration process. However, in areas such as functions of intelligence chiefs, defense intelligence, foreign intelligence, domestic intelligence, and talent management, there are certain controversies. Whether it can lead to a profound reform of the U.S. intelligence community remains a significant variable.
