THE INTELLIGENCE-SECURITY SYSTEMS OF THE BALTIC REPUBLICSKeywords: security system , intelligence community , intelligence services , coordination , Estonia , Latvia , Lithuania. Abstract: This paper introduces a specific analysis and a critical review of the intelligencesecurity systems of the Baltic countries. The analysis is focused on the comparative dimension of the intelligence segments, their work and their implications on the democratic ambience in the country which are particularly reflected on the political freedoms in the formal and the factual notion of the word. The initial premise is that in democratic societies it is obligatory to facilitate a canalized action for the security community, in order to disable a space for, or not to let a certain accumulation of power. The elaboration made for the intelligence-security systems in this effort contains two elements: first, an analysis is made for the bases on which the security communities are set in the Baltic countries and second, the analysis through comparison of the positive experiences leads us toward the real acknowledgements for the position and for the role of this segment in society as one of the most secure ways to get to the veritable answers for the conditions in the intelligencesecurity systems.
