Resumen:
Insecurity, as a defining feature of our time, presents itself as something new or at least qualitatively different. I would analyze a relevant antecedent of "insecurity". Latin American military governments of the 60s and 70s have been under the strong influence of the National Security Doctrine. What was "national" in this Security Doctrine? Each state collaborated with their own neighbor countries as part of the idea proposed by United States during the Cold War. In the case of Argentina, "communism", Brazil and Chile were "threats". Military dictatorships were themselves instruments of a security strategy. In some countries, there was a strategy of state, in others only proscriptions against free elections.
