description The search for integration among Latin American countries is at a unique point, with economic matters transcended in importance by discussion of the creation of defense policies for the region. In this scenario, with different perceptions regarding what constitutes a threat, two proposals for military integration exist, one lead by Brazil within the context of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) and the other lead by Venezuela in the context of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America (Alba). This article presents the foundation of the Venezuelan proposal for the integration of an area of defense, specifically, by the Armed Forces, and provides an analysis of the proposal’s viability.

The search for integration among Latin American countries is at a unique point, with economic matters transcended in importance by discussion of the creation of defense policies for the region.

La búsqueda de la integración entre los países de América Latina pasa por un momento sui generis, en el que se trascienden los aspectos económicos y se confiere alguna relevancia a las discusiones sobre la elaboración de políticas de defensa para la región. En este escenario con diferentes percepciones sobre lo que constituyen amenazas, la región vive el surgimiento de dos propuestas de integración militar, una liderada por Brasil en el ámbito de la Unasur y otra liderada por Venezuela, en el ámbito de la Alba. Este artículo presenta las bases de la propuesta venezolana para una integración en el área de defensa, específicamente, de las Fuerzas Armadas y hace un análisis de su viabilidad.
