| description | This article analyzes the political factors that crossed the definition of Argentine´s military intelligence policy between 1990 and 2015. The argument is that this activity was conditioned by two assumptions widely held by the governments of this period: that military intelligence is dangerous for democratic stability; and that Argentina does not have external problems that may require this type of knowledge in the medium term. These elements not only made “unnecessary” the definition of an intelligence policy -from the perspective of the local elites- but also shaped a status quo that maintained the subordination of the country's defense interests to foreign strategic perceptions. |

El artículo analiza los factores políticos que atravesaron la definición de la política de inteligencia militar argentina entre 1990 y 2015. El argumento central es que esta responsabilidad estuvo condicionada por dos apreciaciones ampliamente arraigadas en los gobiernos del período: que la inteligencia militar constituye un instrumento peligroso para la estabilidad democrática; y que la Argentina carece de problemas externos que puedan requerir la generación de este tipo de conocimientos en el mediano plazo. Estos elementos no sólo tornaron accesoria –desde la mirada de las élites locales– la definición de una política de inteligencia, sino que también configuraron un status quo que reprodujo la subordinación de los intereses defensivos del país a las preocupaciones estratégicas de otras naciones. Abstract This article analyzes the political factors that crossed the definition of Argentine´s military intelligence policy between 1990 and 2015. The argument is that this activity was conditioned by two assumptions widely held by the governments of this period: that military intelligence is dangerous for democratic stability; and that Argentina does not have external problems that may require this type of knowledge in the medium term. These elements not only made “unnecessary” the definition of an intelligence policy -from the perspective of the local elites- but also shaped a status quo that maintained the subordination of the country's defense interests to foreign strategic perceptions.
