FAUNDES, Cristian. Evolution of the Concept of Security in the Chilean Defense White Papers. Pap.polit. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.1, pp.185-219. ISSN 0122-4409. https://doi.org/10.11144/javenana.papo22-1.ecsl.
This study inquiries into the evolution of the concept of Security in the Chilean Defense White Papers published in 1997, 2002 and 2010. This work consists of a conceptual critical analysis of the texts in a comparative perspective. It focuses on five variables: 1) definition of Security; 2) definition of Defense; 3) referent object; 4) sectors of Security; and 5) definition of Threat. The results bring into light a process to narrow the reach of the military instrument; an increasing political interest to separate Security from Defense; an inorganic intend to incorporate Human security; and the displacement of Threat as an articulating axis of Defense planning. As a main conclusion, the concept of security evolves significantly according to the Chilean Defense White Papers. The relevance of this issue rests upon the fact that the conceptualization of security delineates the employment of the instruments of defense. The contribution of the study consists of disaggregating the evolution of the concept of Security to further understand the political modifications to the parameters of action of the military instrument in the country.
