description Development and new lectures regarding world’s current risks compel us to reconfigure the role of military institutions and, therefore, their purpose regarding intelligence. The transition from modernity to new forms that would exceed its postulates , in which societies are summited to the logics of market and bureaucracy, as well as the analysis about risks and security are not always related to the conditions that could be considered a threat to human life, but also to governability, economic stability, public opinion, among other problems. From the perspective of Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck, there will be a reflection about the dimensions that must be considered by military intelligence of contemporary army forces, adjusted to realities where the “abstract systems” dominate and demand the development of a strategic intelligence that doesn’t constrict itself to cover national and territorial sovereignty issues only. In order to achieve this there will be an examination of nowadays priorities for the military intelligence of Ecuador and the necessity to reinvent itself during the transition from a traditional to a global outline, moreover, when they have to act in this risk context, with sources that do not adjust to this reality, since the scientific-technological capacity and, therefore, the intelligence doctrinal conceptions, are not still inscribed in the globalizing dynamics.

La evolución y las nuevas lecturas de los riesgos que azotan al mundo obligan a reconfigurar el rol de las instituciones militares y por lo tanto sus funciones de inteligencia. El salto desde la llamada modernidad hacia unas formas que rebasarían los postulados de esta y en la que las sociedades están sometidas a las lógicas del mercado y de la burocracia, las consideraciones sobre los riesgos y la seguridad, no siempre tienen que ver con las condiciones que ponen en peligro la vida humana, sino también con la gobernabilidad, la estabilidad económica, la opinión pública, entre otras problemáticas. Desde la perspectiva de Anthony Giddens y Ulrich Beck, se hará una reflexión sobre las dimensiones que deben tomar en cuenta la inteligencia militar en los ejércitos contemporáneos, ajustadas a realidades en que los “sistemas abstractos” predominan y que exigen desarrollar una inteligencia estratégica que no se constriñe únicamente al ámbito nacional y de soberanía territorial. Para esto se tomará como ejemplo las prioridades actuales de la inteligencia militar en Ecuador y las necesidades de reinventarse cuando se encuentran en unas condiciones de transición de un modelo tradicional hacia uno global, más aún cuando tienen que actuar en este contexto de riesgo, con medios que no se ajustan a esta realidad, toda vez que la capacidad científico-tecnológica y, por tanto, las concepciones doctrinarias de inteligencia, no se inscriben todavía en las dinámicas globalizadoras.     Abstract Development and new lectures regarding world’s current risks compel us to reconfigure the role of military institutions and, therefore, their purpose regarding intelligence.
