dc.description.abstractOne of the significant challenges for reforming the intelligence agencies in consolidating democracies is to develop an intelligence culture that understands and supports the role of intelligence and establishes trust with the civil society after an authoritarian past. Building on the existing literature, as well as the practices of Spain, Romania, and Tunisia, this thesis identifies a conceptual framework that a consolidating democracy can use to develop an intelligence culture that is supportive of its intelligence organizations, roles, and practices. This model identifies four main vital factors that need to be addressed before commencing the intelligence culture reform process. These factors are the perception of society as a whole, external support, the threat environment, and the political elites’ knowledge and expertise. Furthermore, this model emphasizes the political elites' central role in leading a collective institutional effort in order to achieve a consistent and balanced trade-off between the democratic values of the intelligence community and maintaining intelligence effectiveness.en_US
