The article summarizes basic theoretical approaches to the study of democracy & intelligence oversight. The author aims to provide a complex view on the topic of regulating intelligence institutions in a democracy. First, it is necessary to explain some basic questions like why we need extra measures to monitor intelligence agencies. Then we must separately identify two different areas of control: management & oversight. The author examines the oversight & management functions of particular institutional levels of control: internal, governmental, legislative, judicial, extra & societal level. Also considered are the special capabilities of regulatory bodies stemming from their different positions in the state institutional system. The text concludes with a catalog of intelligence failures & abuses, linking them with suitable monitoring bodies to prevent such occurrences. Adapted from the source document.
