    Modelo estructural para el análisis y la construcción de políticas de seguridad y defensa
    (Latin American Social Sciences Institute, 2022) Juan David Abella Osorio; Vicente Torrijos Rivera
    El objetivo de este artículo es proponer un modelo estructural y actualizado para el análisis y la construcción de políticas de seguridad y defensa. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre el tema y, a partir de ello, se plantea el modelo y se analizan de forma prospectiva su utilidad, alcances y límites a futuro. Entre los resultados del estudio, se identifican dos grandes direccionamientos de la literatura: uno conceptual y formulador, y otro más exclusivo, político y técnico, así como un aparente consenso técnico sobre algunos elementos básicos de las políticas de seguridad y defensa. Frente a esto, se aporta una propuesta funcional para incrementar el conocimiento, racionalizar recursos y armonizar y mejorar la confección y la implementación de las políticas de seguridad y defensa.
 Abstract
 The objective of this article is to propose a structural and updated model for the analysis and construction of security and defense policies. A review of the literature on the topic is carried out and, based on it, the model is proposed and its usefulness, scope and limits for the future are analyzed prospectively. Among the results of the study, two main tendencies of the literature are identified: one conceptual and formulator, and another more exclusive, political and technical, as well as an apparent technical consensus on some basic elements of security and defense policies. In view of this, a functional proposal is put forward to increase knowledge, rationalize resources and harmonize and improve the construction and implementation of security and defense policies.

Finally, and as a conclusion, the article reflects on the implications of security diplomacy for the country’s strategic positioning from the synergy between the conceptual and operational elements of such policy.
