CEPIK, Marco  y  RODRIGUEZ, Júlio. Institutions for emergencies and the emergence of institutions: the case of the intelligence community in the US (1947-1960). Relações Internacionais [online]. 2022, n.75, pp.135-155.  Epub 30-Sep-2022. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2022.75a08.

In 13 years, a new organizational complex emerged in the United States to carry out intelligence and security activities, one that departed significantly from the National Security Law (1947). In the modified version of rational institutionalism developed by Amy Zegart, such a result would be unlikely. To explain this apparent anomaly, we resort to the notion of institutional drift proposed by Hacker, Pierson e Thelen and describe the interactional dynamics between states, organizations and leaders, with their structural implications as suggested by Falleti e Mahoney.

Palabras clave : intelligence; United States; institutions; Cold War.
