description This article explores why the Andean Community of Nations (CAN) has failed to achieve concrete regional security strategies for member countries. The research uses the English School of International Relations approach that considers security a value or a "primary institution", like territoriality, sovereignty, equality, and market; therefore, agendas and discussions within the regional group should include security proportionally. Through a frequency analysis, the study reviewed 342 decisions adopted by the CAN during 2006-2020. The results show that the community is still consolidating its structure. Although CAN has a broad technical agency and a scheme dedicated to strengthening the common market, its system of primary institutions is weak. In this sense, decisions on security are insufficient.

Este artículo indaga por qué la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN) no ha logrado estrategias regionales concretas de seguridad para los países miembros. Se parte del enfoque de la escuela inglesa (EI) de las relaciones internacionales, que considera que la seguridad es un valor o una “institución primaria”, como lo son territorialidad, soberanía, igualdad y mercado; por lo que debería incluirse en las agendas y discusiones del grupo regional en igual proporción. Se estudiaron 342 decisiones adoptadas por la CAN en el período de 2006-2020 mediante un análisis de frecuencias. Se concluye que la comunidad se encuentra en construcción, tiene una amplia agencia técnica, una estructura dedicada al fortalecimiento del mercado común, pero su sistema de instituciones primarias es débil. En este sentido, las decisiones sobre la seguridad son insuficientes.
