El desarrollo de la política de cultura de inteligencia en España: un caso de isomorfismo institucional. (Spanish)

The Development of the Intelligence Culture Policy in Spain: A Case of Institutional Isomorphism. (English)

Since its creation in 2003, the purpose of the intelligence culture policy has been to raise social awareness about the work and the need for the National Intelligence Centre (CNI). This policy has served as a framework for different actions aimed at promoting greater dialogue between the Spanish intelligence service and civil society, with the policy of promoting the culture of defense as the closest and immediate precedent. This article traces the similarities in the development of both public policies throughout the consultation of primary and secondary sources of public access and also analyzes them through the concept of institutional isomorphism. As the main conclusion, the political culture of intelligence is pointed out as a product of a process of emulation of the practices of institutions that share the same organizational field, as those that were already developed in the field of defense.

Desde su creación en 2003, la política de cultura de inteligencia ha tenido como propósito la sensibilización social acerca de la labor y necesidad del Centro Nacional de Inteligencia (CNI). Esta política ha servido como marco de diferentes acciones dirigidas a favorecer una mayor interlocución del servicio de inteligencia español con la sociedad civil, con la política pública de fomento de la cultura de defensa como precedente más cercano e inmediato. El presente artículo traza las similitudes en el desarrollo de ambas políticas públicas, a partir de la consulta de fuentes primarias y secundarias de acceso público, y las analiza a través del concepto de isomorfismo institucional. Como conclusión principal, se señala que la política de cultura de inteligencia es producto de un proceso de emulación de las prácticas de instituciones que comparten un mismo campo organizacional, como las que entonces se desarrollaban en el ámbito de la defensa.
