Descripción
Sumario:This article examines the relevance of the adjacent context and the vision and participation in peacekeeping operations in the external agendas of Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela during the first decade of the twenty-first century. To this end, the categories of threat perceptions and territorial conflicts, military expenditures, positions on measures about mutual confidence, and participation in peace missions are used. It is assumed that governments can announce the formation of a strategic alliance; it is worth asking if the announcement is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of this peculiar form of relationship between States. It is hoped that this study will allow the identification of the relevance and the existence, or not, of complementarity spaces in this thematic area to reflect on how close Argentina-Chile and Argentina-Venezuela are to the formation of a strategic alliance.
