description This article not only describes the culture of intelligence as the way to provide adequate information for decision-making in a State but also analyzes how it should be considered in the processes to generate actions to improve security conditions. In order to operationalize these concepts, the descriptive method was used, to reflect on the importance of intelligence for political leadership and for the formulation of strategies that propitiate an adequate level of security. Within this vision, it is intended to reflect on the need for a global security scope, but without neglecting the intelligence associated with State interest. As an example of the aforementioned, the problem of drug trafficking in two countries of the Andean region, Colombia and Peru, is considered. The importance of an intelligence culture that conceptually considers political orientation but fundamentally guides its actions to support strategies that generate an adequate security scenario at the state and global level is highlighted.

En el presente artículo no solo se describe la cultura de inteligencia como la forma de proporcionar información adecuada para la toma de decisiones de un Estado, sino que se expone cómo debe ser considerada en los procesos para generar acciones que permitan mejorar las condiciones de seguridad. Con la finalidad de operacionalizar estos conceptos, se emplea el método descriptivo para evidenciar la importancia de la inteligencia en la conducción política y la formulación de estrategias que permitan disponer de un adecuado nivel de seguridad. Con esta visión, se pretende reflexionar sobre la necesidad de un alcance de seguridad global, pero sin dejar de lado la inteligencia vinculada al interés estatal. Como ejemplo, se considera el problema del narcotráfico en dos países de la región andina: Colombia y Perú. Se destaca la importancia de una cultura de inteligencia que considere conceptualmente la orientación política, pero que oriente su accionar a apoyar estrategias que generen un adecuado escenario de seguridad a escala estatal y global.
