RIQUELME RIVERA, Jorge. Chile`s participation in the South American Defense Council:moderation and pragmatism. Relac. int. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.54, pp.00-00. ISSN 2314-2766.

The article analyses Chile's participation in the South American Defense Council (CDS), since its establishment in December, 2008. To such effect, it asserts that its role in said Council represents an important part of the Latin American priority defined in Chile-an foreign policy. Moreover, the work argues that, much in the same way as in the partic-ipation in other regional integration mechanisms, the country has carried out its activities in the Council with moderation and pragmatism. This suggests that, in addition to its active involvement in the CDS, Chile continues to be strongly committed to the hemi-spheric framework of security and defense.

Keywords : Chilean Foreign Policy; Defense Policy; South American Defense Council.
