Intelligence Accountability in a Globalizing World: Towards an Instrument of Measuring Effectiveness

E.C. Braat, Floribert Baudet

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademic

Abstract

This chapter discusses the ‘accountability gap’ with regard to international intelligence cooperation. As a result of globalisation, and especially after 9/11, this cooperation has become vital for national security. But as mechanisms of oversight and accountability are national only, they have had trouble keeping track of these developments. The chapter discusses the reasons why intelligence accountability is problematic, and proposes an innovative analytical instrument for closing this gap.
