This comparative analysis of the sometimes fraught process of
achieving democratic governance of security intelligence agencies
presents material from countries other than those normally featured
in the Intelligence Studies literature of North America and Europe.
Some of the countries examined are former Communist countries and
several in Latin America are former military regimes. Others have
been democratic for a long time but still experience widespread
political violence. Through a mix of single-country and comparative
studies, major aspects of intelligence are considered, including
the legacy of, and transition from, authoritarianism; the
difficulties of achieving genuine reform; and the apparent
inevitability of periodic scandals. Authors consider a range of
methodological approaches to the study of intelligence and the
challenges of analysing the secret world. Finally, consideration is
given to the success - or otherwise - of intelligence reform, and
the effectiveness of democratic institutions of control and
oversight. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Intelligence and National Security.
