This book examines ways in which intelligence develops its
characteristic standards of accuracy and duty. It considers the
effects of formal legal codes and democratic oversight, but a
principal conclusion emerging from it is the importance of
professional training. Its implicit sub-text is indeed that
standards of intelligence analysis and integrity should be properly
taught, and not just caught by osmosis from one's seniors. It also
examines intelligence professionalism in a laboratory almost
completely unknown to Anglo-Saxon readers, certainly to this one.
Intelligence institutions have evolved in the last decade in the
new, democratic Latin America at roughly the same pace as the
successor systems that developed at the same time in the former
Warsaw Pact countries of Eastern and Central Europe; and the two
sets of development are of comparable international significance.
Yet hardly anyone in Europe knows anything about Latin American
intelligence, and the same ignorance exists in considerable measure
in the United States. The gap is filled here by accounts of
intelligence structures and recent developments in seven of the
Latin American countries, along with 5 three conceptual articles
that relate these country-by-country accounts to the
semi-hemisphere as a whole..
