Durante esta fase legislativa se aprobaron la Ley N.º 23.554 de Defensa Nacional (1988), la Ley N.º 24.059 de Seguridad Interior (1992) y la Ley N.º 25.520 de Inteligencia Nacional (2001 y modificada en el 2014). Dichas normas constituyeron el denominado “Consenso Básico”, que estableció una separación orgánica y funcional entre la seguridad interior y la defensa nacional. En este artículo se analiza la evolución del debate y de las medidas adoptadas por el gobierno argentino con respecto a la separación entre defensa y seguridad interior; de manera puntual, el involucramiento de las Fuerzas Armadas de Argentina en la lucha contra el tráfico aéreo de drogas entre 2011 y 2019. Se examina el proceso de securitización en torno a la temática en el período y cómo se tradujo en el nivel estratégico operacional, escenario donde se presentaron las diferencias entre los gobiernos de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner y Mauricio Macri. \u0000Abstract \u0000Between 1985 and 2001, the Argentine defense policy built an agreement that was sustained over time, under governments of different party and ideological signs. During this legislative phase, Law No. 23,554 on National Defense (1988), Law No. 24,059 on Homeland Security (1992) and Law No. 25,520 on National Intelligence (2001 and amended in 2014) were approved. These norms constituted the so-called “Basic Consensus”, which established an organic and functional separation between internal security and national defense. This article analyzes how the debate has evolved and the measures adopted by the Argentine government regarding the separation between defense and internal security, specifically with regard to the involvement of the Armed Forces of Argentina in the fight against air traffic of drugs between 2011 and 2019. To do this, the securitization process around the issue is analyzed during the years 2011 to 2019 and how this was translated at the operational strategic level. It is concluded that that it was here that the differences between the governments of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Mauricio Macri arose.","PeriodicalId":41674,"journal":{"name":"URVIO-Revista Latinoamericana de Estudios de Seguridad","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88717338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Con base en ello, se analizan las características de dicha industria en Brasil y Argentina, así como las medidas vinculadas al sector que se anunciaron a consecuencia de la pandemia, tanto a escala nacional como, en menor medida, regional. Se utiliza una metodología cualitativa, basada en el análisis bibliográfico y documental de fuentes primarias y secundarias, y en entrevistas en profundidad.

It starts by referring to the main theoretical discussions on health security and autonomy, identifying the role of medical equipment in both concepts. Afterward, the main characteristics of the medical equipment industry in Brazil and Argentina are analyzed, as well as the decisions adopted on a national and regional level. With a qualitative methodology, this research is based on a review of primary and secondary sources, as well as in-depth interviews.

It is argued that despite their theoretical marginality, during the Cold War, firearms transfers were an important instrument of relations between the powers in conflict and their areas of influence.

Para ello, se evidencian las lagunas y los silencios de las teorías dominantes a la hora de entender el agravamiento de los desafíos a la seguridad en los primeros seis meses de pandemia y cómo desde la ética del cuidado sí se incorporan esos matices y percepciones de seguridad.

To this end, the gaps and silences in mainstream theories in the diagnoses on the worsening of the security challenges in the first semester of the pandemic are evidenced. Also, the nuances and perceptions of security included in the Care Ethics approach are highlighted.

Este articulo tiene por objetivo analizar, desde la perspectiva de la seguridad humana, la pandemia como riesgo y amenaza para la vida social a escala global. Se retoman las categorias conceptuales de seguridad humana y riesgo global, para comprender las desigualdades, violencias estructurales y vulnerabilidades que acompanan la emergencia sanitaria y que perpetuaran sus afectaciones en el tiempo, para hacer de ella una crisis social total. Mediante las metodologias cuantitativa y cualitativa, se examinan algunas de las principales tendencias de riesgo que la pandemia representa. La hipo-tesis es que, con la pandemia, se suprimen los resquicios de seguridad y certeza brindados por la modernidad, cuyas contradicciones provocaron la catastrofe planetaria mas importante en la historia reciente. Asimismo, la pandemia muestra que las estrategias ancladas a la seguridad tradicional no son las mas apropiadas para enfrentar las consecuencias que tendra la crisis sanitaria.

EnglishThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has questioned the dominant international security strategies, and also highlighted the immense contradictions in our global way of life. From a human security per spective, this investigation analyses the pandemic as a risk and threat to social life on a global scale. The conceptual categories of human security and global risk are used to understand the inequali-ties, structural violence and vulnerabilities that accompany the health emergency and make it a total social crisis. Some of the main risk trends that the pandemic represents are quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. It is proposed that the global pandemic is leading to the suppression of the loopholes of security and certainty provided by modernity, whose contradictions have led us to suffer the most important planetary catastro-phe in recent history. Likewise, the pandemic has shown that the strategies anchored to traditional security are not the most appropriate to face the consequences that the current health crisis will have. Therefore, to respond to these risks and threats, it is essential to develop new perspectives on security.","PeriodicalId":41674,"journal":{"name":"URVIO-Revista Latinoamericana de Estudios de Seguridad","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49337227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Se plantean dos enfoques: uno cuantitativo y otro cualitativo. Mediante el primero, se estiman indicadores numéricos para analizar la ocurrencia y la frecuencia de suicidios en el país. Por medio del segundo, se llevan a cabo entrevistas a familiares de víctimas de hechos suicidas y a profesionales vinculados con el tema. Los resultados indican que la tasa de suicidios en Venezuela se incrementó entre 2015 y 2018, muy probablemente como consecuencia de la crisis que atraviesa la nación. Esto se refuerza con los hallazgos derivados de las entrevistas, de donde se extrae que el contexto nacional está presente como factor de riesgo interviniente y componente clave explicativo del probable aumento de los suicidios. La principal conclusión es que la crisis podría haber actuado como detonante de un cúmulo de sentimientos y pensamientos negativos, y de trastornos de depresión y ansiedad, los cuales, a su vez, podrían haber impulsado a venezolanos de distintas edades hacia actos suicidas. \u0000Abstract \u0000This research tries to deepen the knowledge of suicides in Venezuela, a country that experiences a deep humanitarian crisis, which has become worse since 2014. For this purpose, two approaches are proposed: a quantitative approach and a qualitative one. In the first one, numerical indicators are estimated in order to know, analyze and understand the incidence of the occurrence and frequency of suicides in the country. Through the second approach, interviews to relatives of victims of suicide and with professionals related to the topic are carried out. The results indicate that the suicide rate in Venezuela increased between 2015 and 2018, most probably as a consequence of the crisis the nation is going through. This conclusion is reinforced with the findings derived from the interviews from which it is deduced that the national context was present as an intervening risk factor and as a key explanatory component of the probable increase in suicide figures. The main conclusion is that the crisis could have acted as a triggering factor for an accumulation of negative feelings and thoughts, and for disorders of depression and anxiety, which, in turn, could have driven Venezuelans of different ages towards suicidal acts.","PeriodicalId":41674,"journal":{"name":"URVIO-Revista Latinoamericana de Estudios de Seguridad","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77982357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
