Uruguay: Civil-Military Relations in the Second Decade of the Twenty-First Century
摘要
Since 2016, the Uruguayan armed forces have not only expanded the number and scope of their missions but also recovered the prerogatives that seemed doomed to be cut off with the approval of the Defense Framework Law in 2010. In this context, the Uruguayan military institutions underwent a denaturalization process to become multipurpose forces, focused principally on domestic tasks. This article suggests an interpretation of both, the expansion of the missions and the demilitarization of the Uruguayan armed forces‘capabilities. Both developments are functional to integrated deterrence; the new military doctrine promoted by the United States.
