CASTILLO ARIAS, Jaime. Counterintelligence Considerations in the Formulation of Security Strategies: Utopia or Pragmatic Evolution. URVIO [online]. 2020, n.26, pp.8-23. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.26.2020.4226.

The article presents the activities of the counterintelligence in a context of doctrinal update, in order to establish the operational procedures that allow this activity to be more visible, given that it defends state interests and therefore should be associated with activities governed by legality, as well as public control. A descriptive process of such activities is proposed, considering some countries in the Andean region, North America and Europe, as well as the availability of legal and doctrinal sustenance. This allows knowing the trends currently in force in this field. It also allows to describe and propose possible strategies and the corresponding lines of action in the field of counterintelligence, systematically controlled by the states that require them. With this background, there is a need to configure counterintelligence strategies and lines of action, which would improve security and external supportto better address risk factors and threats that would affect the society, the state and its institutions.

Keywords : international security; military strategy; multilateral relations; state security.
