The Handbook of Latin American and Caribbean Intelligence Cultures
explores the contemporary efforts of Latin American and Caribbean
nations to develop an intelligence culture. Specifically, it
analyzes these countries' efforts to democratize their intelligence
agencies (i.e. to develop intelligence services that are both
transparent and effective) to convert the former military regimes'
repressive security apparatuses into democratic intelligence
communities-a rather paradoxical task, considering that democracy
calls for political neutrality, transparency, and accountability,
while effective intelligence services must operate in secrecy.
Indeed, even the most successful democracies face this conundrum of
democracy and intelligence; Latin America and the Caribbean region
is not alone in facing this challenge. The legacy of the repressive
military regimes or brutal civil wars-which have inspired in the
public a general disdain toward intelligence services due to the
grave human rights abuses-coupled with politicians' persistent lack
of interest or expertise in intelligence matters complicate the
region's quest for a proper balance between the competing demands
of democracy and intelligence. This volume details the attempts of
the region's countries to overcome these obstacles and pursue
democratic intelligence institution building-transforming the legal
basis for intelligence; establishing democratic control and
oversight mechanisms; and fostering intelligence openness,
transparency, and outreach.
