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.
