Trends in South American weapons purchases at the beginning of the new millennium

Abstract: In recent years, with some frequency it is heard that Latin America, especially South America, is witnessing the rise of an arms race. Frequent reports in the press and strong statements made by politicians in the region have fueled this fear. At the same time, scholars have also reached to this conclusion, as pointed out by Malamud and Garcia: "The famous arms race in Latin America, led by Venezuela, is no longer just talk."

“…Os EUA continuam tendo forte presença na América do Sul, em exercícios militares, programas de formação e capacitação, e fornecedores de armas (ABDUL-HAK, 2013;REZENDE, 2015;VILLA;VIGGIANO, 2012).

Por esse motivo, não se elenca a presença de atores extrarregionais entre os principais desafios para a construção da confiança recíproca via transparência militar.…”
