    Una comunidad de seguridad regional en formación : la UNASUR y su Consejo de Defensa
    in Estudios internacionales : revista del Instituto de Estudios Internacionales de la Universidad de Chile , Vol. 44, No. 170 ,  2011 ,  105-127
    This article examines the continuing process of establishment and formal and informal institutionalization of UNASUR's and its Security Defence Council through action and discourse. We claim that both are in an «ascent» phase, and that the aims of the group's leading countries are to create a «rigorous» regional grouping. Paradoxically, evidence points to crises as main elements that drive these countries to strengthen the institution.Moreover, the role placed by UNASUR during crises becomes a mechanism for achieving institucional balance and balance of power vis-ŕ-vis the OAS and the United States.
