La Guerra de Malvinas y sus efectos en la política de defensa de Brasil, República Popular China, Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña
El artículo examina el impacto de la Guerra de Malvinas en la política de defensa de Brasil, República Popular China, Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña. En los cuatro casos se analizan las siguientes dimensiones del conflicto: las relaciones entre el nivel estratégico nacional y el militar, el rol desempeñado por el Estado Mayor Conjunto y las lecciones doctrinarias a nivel aéreo, naval y terrestre. Para el análisis de estas dimensiones se identifica…
La política de las bases militares en América del Sur
Objective/context: South America has undergone a process of democratization and progressive reduction of inter-state disputes since the 1980s and 1990s. The disappearance of threats traditionally faced by several states in the region, or their management within the framework of different conflict resolution mechanisms, has led to an unintended effect known as threat deficit, a strategic scenario in which the external threat perception of a State …
Evolution of the Argentina Ministry of Defense since 1983
Through a progressive strengthening of organizational, legal, and personnel attributes, Argentina's Ministry of Defense has become civilianized. The MOD has been strengthened by the addition of new bureaucratic units headed by civilians with the authority to shape and conduct defense policy while also encouraging interactions with military personnel, resulting in better informed policy choices. This article will account for these changes through …
Fue la crisis de las Malvinas una guerra de distracción? Una reinterpretación del declive argentino a través de la teoría prospectiva
Cómo se explica la Guerra de Malvinas? En este artículo revisitamos este episodio a través de un análisis contrafáctico utilizando nueva evidencia documental. Estas fuentes ponen en duda la tesis de la guerra de distracción y la tesis del error de cálculo. La evidencia sugiere que dinámicas de poder de largo plazo y sesgos psicológicos afectando a los miembros de la Junta militar argentina explican de mejor manera las decisiones que llevaron a la…
Was the Malvinas/Falklands a Diversionary War? A Prospect-Theory Reinterpretation of Argentina’s Decline
Why did Argentina risk seizing the Malvinas/Falkland Islands by force in 1982, provoking a war against Great Britain, and what are the larger implications of this case? We revisit this influential episode using counterfactual analysis to interpret newly declassified declarations of high-ranking state officials involved in the decision to occupy the islands. These sources cast doubt on the diversionary-war and miscalculation theses of the Malvinas…
Threat Construction and Military Intervention in Internal Security
Argentina has a deeply rooted tradition of rejecting participation by the military in internal security and legislation that prohibits such involvement. The current construction of a threat from drug trafficking and terrorism and the proposal of intervention by the armed forces to contend with them is the result of a narrative justifying the implementation of various government policies. Exploration of the mechanism of discursive threat construct…
Democracia, reconfiguración de amenazas y la paz sudamericana
is paper claims that South American democracies have demonstrated a notable predisposition toward bilateral agreements, toward the search for arbitration/mediation, and toward the establishment of inter-democratic regional institutions. ese traits have favored the resolution of the majority of regional con icts, or if not resolution, then con ict management through di erent institutions. Likewise, the proliferation and consolidation of regional p…
The Determinants of Arms Spending in South America
In recent years, South America has witnessed a large increase in arms purchases. Nonetheless, there are important intraregional differences in terms of the allocation of resources for weapons acquisitions. How can we account for these disparities? Mainstream literature suggests that levels of arms importation depend on either the size of the defense budget or the perception of threat. In contrast, this article contends that the level of spending …
The coexistence of peace and conflict in South America
South America's predominant democratic regimes and its increasing interdependence on regional trade have not precluded the emergence of militarized crises between Colombia and Venezuela or the revival of boundary claims between Chile and Peru. This way, how can we characterize a zone that, in spite of its flourishing democracy and dense economic ties, remain involved in territorial disputes for whose resolution the use of force has not yet been d…
Rearme y baja percepción de amenaza interestatal en Sudamérica. ¿Es posible tal coexistencia
El propósito de este artículo es realizar un análisis crítico del uso del concepto de rearme para explicar las compras de armas por parte de diversos países sudamericanos. El empleo de esta noción no sólo es impreciso desde el punto de vista conceptual, sino también riesgoso desde el político. El concepto de rearme tiene un significado histórico muy preciso y específico que se vincula a situaciones en las que predomina una elevada percepción de a…
