Resumen
GIMATE-WELSH, Adrián S.. Accountability. In relation to the intelligence systems in Argentina and Chile. Rev. IUS [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.42, pp.161-188. ISSN 1870-2147.
The objective of this study is to examine the validity of accountability in the field of intelligence systems in Argentina and Chile. The working hypothesis consists of two assumptions supported by the conceptualization of the Authoritarian Bureaucratic State formulated by Guillermo O'Donnell. Assumption One: To a greater authoritarian bureaucratic degree, weak accountability of the intelligence systems. Assumption Two: A greater democratic quality, robust accountability, greater control and supervision of intelligence institutions.
To confirm these presumptions, an analysis of the intelligence system in Argentina and Chile is carried out within the framework of the security policies put into action through constitutional reforms and institutional innovation and their framing in instruments of accountability. The methodological support is essentially qualitative-interpretative of texts on intelligence in both States, especially in the context of the increase in crime and the urgency of effective actions of prevention, detention and sentencing of lawbreakers.
