SEGUEL ROJAS, Felipe Andrés. AN ARMY FOR PEACE: THE BASES OF THE DOCTRINAIRE CHANGE IN THE CHILEAN ARMY (2002-2006). rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.1, pp.219-238. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.1376.

This article analyzes the changes within the army of Chile, within the period of democratic transition. It is proposed that this process was marked by the international context and the need for progress on social legitimacy and defining the role of the Chilean Army in the context of Post-Cold War. In this sense, the process experienced by the Institution for the Commander in Chief of General Juan Emilio Cheyre (2002-2006) was marked by changes in the armed forces worldwide that affected the formation of new guiding concepts of professionalism. This change gave the Chilean Army new guidelines to reorganize their professional action within the national context and for international reintegration as defense policy.

Keywords : Armed Forces; Doctrine; Post-Cold War; Professionalism; Democratic Transition.
