BRAGATTI, Milton Carlos  and  MIRANDA GONCALVES, Rubén. Cooperation in the Defence Area in UNASUR: Assessment of the South American Defence Council (CDS) and its Limits. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.2, pp.73-95. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.3303.

Defence was one of the areas with most progress in the context of UNASUR; however, there are many challenges and problems for further cooperation in this regard. While the South American Defence Council (CDS) and UNASUR achieved success in the first years, there are signs of stagnation. The objective of this article is to take stock of cooperation in defence in South America within the CDS. Thus, we seek to understand the process of creating the CDS and the complexity and perspectives that permeate the defence area in South America, its achievements and current limits.

Keywords : defence council; military cooperation; regional integration; UNASUR.
