UNVEILING CHALLENGES FOR STATE DEFENSE SOUTH AMERICAN CASE 2010 – 2030 ; DEVELANDO RETOS PARA LA DEFENSA ESTATAL: CASO SURAMERICANO 2010 –2030 ; REVELANDO DESAFIOS PARA A DEFESA DO ESTADO CASO SUL-AMERICANO 2010 –2030

This study is the result of the research work carried out during the execution of the International Security program, developed by the National University of Distance Education (UNED), leading to the academic degree of doctor. The work aims to reveal variables that have been configured in the American subregional scenario since 2010 and that would have an impact on the conceptions of Security and Defense by 2030. n this area, the acceptance of a zone of peace established by the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) is reinforced as a relevant discussion.

Will the challenges and challenges of 2030 be in tune with the new ones? Questions that have been perpetuated and that we hope to help decipher in this work. ; El presente estudio es resultado del trabajo de investigación elaborado durante la ejecución del programa de Seguridad Internacional, que desarrolla la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), conducente al grado académico de doctor.
