Abstract

SPOTA, Julio César. Los rostros del error: decisiones políticas adoptadas sin criterio estratégico. Relac. int. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.63, pp.23-38. ISSN 2314-2766.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142766e156.

The main purpose of this article is to discuss contemporary issues of Argentina's National Defense in light of the complexities verified in the international context. Taking into account recent events related to the acquisition of military capabilities, this work describes the nature of the problem affecting the national political-strategic decision-making, framing it in global geopolitical scenarios. The text is structured sequentially and intends to weave the profile of concrete political decisions with formal aspects of strategic theory. After an introductory presentation describing a recent episode about an aerial capabilities acquisition project, we discuss the possible repercussions of a sudden change in the identity of the chosen international military provider. Then, we address foreign policy inconsistencies as the correlate of a national strategic scheme that lacks a systemic approach. The work closes in a corollary where the points reviewed converge in a conclusion drawn with a heuristic spirit.

Keywords : Strategy; National Defense; military acquisitions; decision-making process; Argentine Republic.
