This book features a comparative study in intelligence
accountability and governance across the Five Eyes: the imperative
for member countries of the world's most powerful intelligence
alliance to reconcile democracy and security through transparent
standards, guidelines, legal frameworks, executive directives, and
international law. It argues that intelligence accountability is
best understood not as an end in itself but as a means that is
integral democratic governance. On the one hand, to assure the
executive of government and the public that the activities of
intelligence agencies are lawful and, if not, to identify breaches
in compliance. On the other hand, to raise awareness of and
appreciation for the intelligence function, and whether it is being
carried out in the most effective, efficient, and innovative way
possible to achieve its objective. The analysis shows how the
addition of legislative and judicial components to executive and
administrative accountability has been shaping evolving
institutions, composition, practices, characteristics, and cultures
of intelligence oversight and review in the United States, the
United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand using a
most-similar systems design. Democracies are engaged in an
asymmetric struggle against unprincipled adversaries. Technological
change is enabling unprecedented social and political disruption.
These threat vectors have significantly affected, altered, and
expanded the role, powers and capabilities of intelligence
organizations. Accountability aims to reassure sceptics that
intelligence and security practices are indeed aligned with the
rules and values that democracies claim to defend.
