Internationally, the profession of intelligence continues to develop and expand. So too does the academic field of intelligence, both in terms of intelligence as a focus for academic research and in terms of the delivery of university courses in intelligence and related areas. To a significant extent both the profession of intelligence and those delivering intelligence education share a common aim of developing intelligence as a discipline. However, this shared interest must also navigate the existence of an academic-practitioner divide. Such a divide is far from unique to intelligence – it exists in various forms across most professions – but it is distinctive in the field of intelligence because of the centrality of secrecy to the profession of intelligence and the way in which this constitutes a barrier to understanding and openly teaching about aspects of intelligence. How can co-operation in developing the profession and academic study be maximized when faced with this divide? How can and should this divide be navigated? The Academic-Practitioner Divide in Intelligence provides a range of international approaches to, and perspectives on, these crucial questions.
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 fa...

Percepcin y Geopoltica en la relacin Chile-Per: desde el Acta de Ejecucin hasta la demanda en La Haya, es producto de varios aos de investigacin en la que, y sin perjuicio de la nacionalidad del autor, se tiene un enfoque bastante crtico y objetivo sobre la forma en que se manejan las relaciones bilaterales entre ambos pases, dejando de lado lo superficial y puntualizando elementos que para el comn de las personas pasan desapercibidos, como lo son los discursos oficiales y aquellos que sostienen los estudiosos de la temtica. Eminentemente acadmica, la presente obra busca ser fundamentalmente un elemento que ayude a destrabar la desconfianza y recelo que existe entre Chile y Per, tomando adems en cuenta el contexto que se vive al momento de publicar este libro, en pleno proceso judicial en la Corte Internacional de La Haya por el lmite martimo.
Entender el crimen organizado y las economías ilícitas es un desafío tan apasionante como complejo. La evolución dinámica de estas estructuras criminales se convierte en un ejercicio peligroso cuando se develan las conexiones ocultas que les permiten acumular y blanquear millonarias ganancias. Actúan como un virus que se infiltra y propaga entre las sombras, utilizando al “Estado huésped” para fortalecerse e invisibilizarse. Hace unos años, Chile no era foco de estudios sobre crimen organizado. Hoy, enfrentamos señales alarmantes y tendencias emergentes que difieren de lo conocido. La violencia irracional, asociada a nuevas formas de delincuencia, exige respuestas contundentes d...
