Abstract
The Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) completed ten years in 2018 in deep crisis: 6 countries announced suspension of membership in the institution. The aim of this article is twofold: to make a summary of the performance of the Defense Council (CDS) of UNASUR in its ten years of operation, its rise and “fall”; in doing so, seeks to highlight aspects that reveal competition and overlap between the CDS and other processes of institutionalization of defense and international security in the South American region, which reach relative success while being deficient and weakened.Downloads
