Abstract

PAYA-SANTOS, Claudio Augusto. The performance of intelligence in Spain in the public, business and academic spheres. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.44, pp.1028-1047.  Epub Oct 01, 2023. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1222.

This article analyzes two key issues in the intelligence services in Spain: their professional performance and the theoretical advance of academic character that drives the use of intelligence in different public and private spaces, in search of giving prestige to intelligence in the academy. Analyzing especially the work of the Spanish researcher Diaz-Matey, it is evidenced that the valuation of intelligence both in the public and business sectors impacts the functionality and legitimacy of intelligence agencies. It is concluded that progress must be made in the processes of democratization and declassification, breaking secrecy, so that intelligence permeates the general culture, consolidates as an academic discipline and helps to make better decisions in all fields.

Keywords : academic intelligence; business intelligence; information sciences; intelligence; state security.
