| description | Studies on national defense in Argentina have not addressed the contributions of the “escuela de la autonomía”. Considering that this theoretical tradition proposes different ways in which States can enable links with the United States (bandwagon/resistance) and that defense policy is a governmental area that affects that relationship, the article has a double objective: to inquire theoretically about the way in which defense policy can contribute to a bandwagon strategy towards the Unites States and to illustrate empirically this theoretical relationship from the analysis of the Argentine defense policy. A qualitative methodology is used, taking as a case study the defense policy carried out by Argentina during the period 2015-2019 and taking three areas of national defense as an empirical reference: the definition of threats, defense as an international positioning tool, and the way in which military capabilities are acquired. It is concluded that the study of the Argentine defense policy (2015-2019) indicates that national defense can be used as a bandwagoning tool towards the United States. |

Los estudios sobre la defensa nacional en Argentina hasta el momento no han incluido en su agenda los aportes de la “escuela de la autonomía”. Considerando que dicha tradición plantea distintas formas que tienen los Estados de vincularse con Estados Unidos (acople/resistencia) y que la defensa es un ámbito gubernamental que incide en dicha vinculación, el presente artículo tiene un doble objetivo: dar cuenta teóricamente de la forma en la que la política de defensa puede contribuir a una estrategia de acople hacia Estados Unidos, e ilustrar empíricamente dicha relación teórica, a partir del análisis de la política de defensa argentina. Se utiliza una metodología cualitativa, tomando como estudio de caso la política de defensa que llevó adelante Argentina durante el período 2015-2019. Se toma como referencia empírica a tres áreas propias de la defensa nacional: la definición de amenazas, la defensa como herramienta de posicionamiento internacional y la forma en que se realiza la adquisición de capacidades militares. Se concluye que el estudio de la política de defensa argentina (2015-2019) permite afirmar que la defensa nacional puede ser utilizada como una herramienta de acople hacia los Estados Unidos. AbstractStudies on national defense in Argentina have not addressed the contributions of the “escuela de la autonomía”. Considering that this theoretical tradition proposes different ways in which States can enable links with the United States (bandwagon/resistance) and that defense policy is a governmental area that affects that relationship, the article has a double objective: to inquire theoretically about the way in which defense policy can contribute to a bandwagon strategy towards the Unites States and to illustrate empirically this theoretical relationship from the analysis of the Argentine defense policy.

Embora os estudos sobre defesa nacional na Argentina indaguem sobre a forma como a política de defesa contribui para a inserção internacional, até o momento não incluíram as contribuições da "escola da autonomia" em sua agenda de pesquisa. Considerando que esta tradição teórica pode contribuir para os estudos sobre a defesa nacional, o artigo tem um duplo objetivo: indagar sobre o vínculo teórico entre a política de defesa e o conceito de autonomia e mostrar que essa relação pode ser ilustrada empiricamente na política de defesa. O trabalho utiliza uma metodologia qualitativa, tomando como estudo de caso a política de defesa realizada pela Argentina no período (2015-2019). O artigo conclui que é viável aproximar empiricamente o grau de autonomia da política de defesa do Estado argentino a partir da forma como contribuído para restringir o poder e a influência dos Estados Unidos e que isso pode ser ilustrado a partir de três áreas de defesa: a definição de ameaças, o uso da defesa como ferramenta de posicionamento na arena internacional e a forma como a aquisição de capacidades militares é realizada.
