Abstract: The paper presents a case study of the development and democratization of Argentina’s main intelligence agency in the period from 1946 to 2001. The authors use a traditional historical and institutional approach, and the paper is located at the intersection of intelligence and democratization studies. The author’s thesis is - after Argentina’s main intelligence service, as one of the most powerful non-constitutional veto actors, managed to achieve its main goal - not to be punished for crimes committed during military rule - it voluntarily submitted to presidents who, as well as autocratic predecessors, mostly used it to stay in power.
