| description | The following analysis describes and compares the structure and mainframe directions of the intelligence function in Ecuador during the presidential administrations of Leon Febres Cordero and Rafael Correa Delgado. By comparing these two periods that strongly institutionalized the Ecuadorian intelligence function, the objective is to systematically account for their similarities and differences. Through a comparative-based methodology, limited by the classification of primary sources, characteristic in the study of intelligence systems, an institutionalist perspective is used, which goes beyond the normative sphere, and includes the analysis of non-declared practices. It is concluded that those analyzed periods coincide in a strong ability to determine the agenda by the executive branch, that for different reasons focused on internal enemies. In addition, in a legal framework incapable of establishing horizontal controls on the activity. On the other hand, the differences found reside in the economic aspect and in the direct beneficiary of the work agenda. |

En este artículo se describen y comparan la estructura y la directiva de trabajo de la función de inteligencia en Ecuador en las gestiones presidenciales de León Febres Cordero y Rafael Correa Delgado. Al comparar dos periodos que institucionalizaron fuertemente la función de inteligencia ecuatoriana, el objetivo es dar cuenta sistemáticamente de sus similitudes y diferencias. A través de una metodología de base comparativa, limitada por la clasificación de las fuentes primarias, característica del estudio de los sistemas de inteligencia, se trabaja desde una perspectiva institucionalista, que supera la esfera normativa e incluye el análisis de prácticas no declaradas. Se concluye que los periodos analizados coinciden en una fuerte capacidad de determinación de la agenda por parte del ejecutivo, que por distintos motivos se enfocó en enemigos internos. Además, bajo un marco legal incapaz de establecer controles horizontales a la actividad. Por otro lado, las diferencias encontradas residen en el aspecto económico y en el beneficiario directo de la agenda de trabajo.
