TY - GEN T1 - Intelligence in democratic transitions : a comparative analysis of Portugal, Greece, and Spain A1 - Tzamarelou, Sofia LA - English PP - Washington, DC PB - Georgetown University Press YR - 2024 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_on1393656104 AB - "Reforming the intelligence agencies is essential when a state transitions from authoritarianism to democracy. But what kinds of reforms matter, how do we know when there has been transformation, and how and where do authoritarian legacies persist? Sofia Tzamarelou conducts a comparative examination of three cases, the democratic transitions of Portugal, Greece, and Spain during the 1970s. She draws important conclusions about how to ensure thorough reform and what happens when intelligence democratization is incomplete. She does this through the lens of five Security Sector Reform (SSR) indicators: Lustration, Control & Oversight, Collection, Recruitment, and Civil Society. Although these three European countries started their transition around the same time, they present significantly different results. Legacies of the past and legacy personnel emerge as the main barriers to reform. Other important findings are the relationship between consumers and producers of intelligence and the role of civil society. The study is unique due to the source material used, the countries studied, and its comparative framework for the study of intelligence democratization"-- OP - 259 CN - JN8520.I57 T93 2024 SN - 9781647124496 SN - 1647124492 SN - 9781647124472 SN - 9781647124489 KW - Intelligence service : Portugal.
