Abstract
Existe un claro consenso académico y político sobre la importancia de los servicios de inteligencia como clave en la lucha contra la amenaza terrorista, pero el desarrollo del llamado «terrorismo global» ha cambiado sustancialmente la forma de contención de la amenaza y, por tanto, también algunas de las prácticas de los servicios de inteligencia. Este artículo estudia cómo ha cambiado la amenaza terrorista en los últimos años a partir del caso particular del terrorismo salafista yihadista; analiza cuáles son las principales consecuencias de estos cambios para los servicios de inteligencia desde una lógica interna –procesos de obtención de información y análisis– y desde una lógica externa –en materia de cooperación–; y, finalmente, muestra la importancia de alcanzar un correcto entendimiento como base para impulsar medidas a medio y largo plazo que permitan a los servicios de inteligencia adelantarse a la evolución de este tipo de ideas basadas en la radicalización y el uso de la violencia política extrema.
There is clear academic and political consensus on the importance of the intelligence services to the fight against the terrorist threat, but the development of socalled “global terrorism” has substantially altered the way the threat can be contained and, as a result, certain practices of the intelligence services have changed too. This article studies how the terrorist threat has changed over recent years focusing on the specific case of Salafist jihadist terrorism. It analyses the main consequences of these changes for the intelligence services both internally (processes of obtaining information and analysis) and externally (in terms of cooperation). Finally, it shows the importance of reaching a proper understanding as the basis for driving measures in the medium and long term that allow the intelligence services to pre-empt the evolution of ideas based on radicalisation and the use of extreme political violence.
