The Handbook of Latin American and Caribbean Intelligence Cultures delves into the contemporary endeavors of Latin American and Caribbean nations to establish an intelligence culture. Specifically, it examines their efforts to democratize their intelligence agencies, aiming to transform former military regimes' repressive security apparatuses into democratic intelligence communities. This paradoxical task arises as democracy necessitates political neutrality, transparency, and accountability, while effective intelligence services require secrecy. Even the most successful democracies grapple with this conundrum, and the Latin America and Caribbean region is not alone in facing this challenge. The legacy of repressive military regimes and brutal civil wars, coupled with politicians' lack of interest or expertise in intelligence matters, complicates the region's quest for a harmonious balance between democracy and intelligence.
This volume provides a comprehensive account of the regions countries' efforts to overcome these obstacles and pursue democratic intelligence institution building. It encompasses transforming the legal basis for intelligence, establishing democratic control and oversight mechanisms, and fostering intelligence openness, transparency, and outreach. By undertaking these measures, the region aims to establish intelligence services that are accountable, transparent, and aligned with democratic values, contributing to the promotion of security, stability, and development in the region.
