This book analyses changes in intelligence governance and offers a
comparative analysis of intelligence democratisation. Within the
field of Security Sector Reform (SSR), academics have paid
significant attention to both the police and military. The
democratisation of intelligence structures that are at the very
heart of authoritarian regimes, however, have been relatively
ignored. The central aim of this book is to develop a conceptual
framework for the specific analytical challenges posed by
intelligence as a field of governance. Using examples from Latin
America and Europe, it examines the impact of democracy promotion
and how the economy, civil society, rule of law, crime, corruption
and mass media affect the success or otherwise of achieving
democratic control and oversight of intelligence. The volume draws
on two main intellectual and political themes: intelligence
studies, which is now developing rapidly from its original base in
North America and UK; and democratisation studies of the changes
taking place in former authoritarian regimes since the mid-1980s
including security sector reform. The author concludes that,
despite the limited success of democratisation, the dangers
inherent in unchecked networks of state, corporate and para-state
intelligence organisations demand that academic and policy research
continue to meet the challenge. This book will be of much interest
to students of intelligence studies, democracy studies, war and
conflict studies, comparative politics and IR in general.
