Abstract

ALVAREZ ROSAS, Nicolás. A window of opportunity to reform the intelligence in Uruguay. URVIO [online]. 2017, n.21, pp.121-139. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.21.2017.2927.

This work assumes as a starting point that the scandal that arose after the seizure of the so-called Castiglioni archive -where there is presumption that there is evidence of illegal espionage in democracy- set up a window of opportunity that allowed to put intelligence issues back on the government agenda. From the framework multiple-streams, it is argued that the agile recognition of the problem through the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry (problem stream) and the presence of concrete solutions provided by the executive and legislative (policy stream) represent an opportunity for change that will depend largely on the capacity of actors to capitalize on it: bridging the gap between solutions and problems (political stream).

Keywords : Castiglioni archive; intelligence; Parliament; Uruguay.
