摘要

本章根据本书的观察和比较,将政府、情报机构和民主公民之间的三角关系历史化、语境化并理论化。它将问责制作为一种手段,以调和民主第一原则的公开和透明与国家情报的权力和保密之间明显的矛盾。民主国家必须不断表现出他们坚定的承诺,遵守他们声称珍视和捍卫的规则,因为这种做法最终将他们与威权主义区分开来。因此,情报问责制成为一个典型的社会过程,对民主来说既是不可或缺的,也是存在的。问责制将情报和安全部门与他们所服务的民主社会及其所施加的规则、授权和限制联系在一起。然而,为了应对全球威胁和技术变革,情报部门现在凝聚成一个跨机构、部门和司法管辖区合作的知识共同体。情报界内部以及“五眼联盟”、其他盟国、合作伙伴等之间的国内、国际和超国家协调与合作,使追究任何一个情报机构或情报界责任这一看似简单的任务大大复杂化。问责滞后于情报权力和能力的改变和扩大,这可能对情报在民主社会中运作所依赖的公众信任和支持产生有害后果。因此,情报比较研究的课程既是关于协调情报和民主的,也是关于在敌对国家和非国家威胁行为者和媒介激增的情况下捍卫民主的创新和适应。

Conclusion
This chapter historicizes, contextualizes, and theorizes the triangular relationship among governments, intelligence agencies, and democratic citizens in light of the observations and comparisons in this book. It posits accountability as a means to reconcile the apparent contradictions between the openness and transparency of democratic first principles on the one hand, and the power and secrecy of state intelligence on the other. Democracies constantly have to demonstrate their steadfast commitment to playing by the same rules they claim to value and defend as this practice ultimately sets them apart from authoritarianism. Intelligence accountability thus emerges as a quintessentially social process that is both integral and existential to democracy. Accountability tethers intelligence and security communities to the democratic society they serve and the rules, authorizations, and limitations it has imposed. In response to global threats and technological change, however, intelligence now coalesces as an epistemic community that cooperates across agencies, departments, and jurisdictions. Domestic, international, and supranational coordination and collaboration within intelligence communities and across the Five Eyes, other allies, partners, and beyond, vastly complicate the seemingly straightforward task of holding any one intelligence agency or community accountable. Accountability lags changing and expanded intelligence powers and capabilities, which can have deleterious consequences for public trust and support under which intelligence operates in a democratic society. Ergo, the lessons in the comparative study of intelligence are as much about reconciling intelligence and democracy as they are about innovation and adaptation in defending democracy as hostile state and non-state threat actors and vectors proliferate.
