EISSA, Sergio-Gabriel. Securitization and the Operational: Air Traffic of Drug between 2011 and 2019 in Argentina. URVIO [online]. 2022, n.32, pp.76-92. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.32.2022.4801.

Between 1985 and 2001, the Argentine defense policy built an agreement that was sustained over time, under governments of different party and ideological signs. During this legislative phase, Law No. 23,554 on National Defense (1988), Law No. 24,059 on Homeland Security (1992) and Law No. 25,520 on National Intelligence (2001 and amended in 2014) were approved. These norms constituted the so-called “Basic Consensus”, which established an organic and functional separation between internal security and national defense. This article analyzes how the debate has evolved and the measures adopted by the Argentine government regarding the separation between defense and internal security, specifically with regard to the involvement of the Armed Forces of Argentina in the fight against air traffic of drugs between 2011 and 2019. To do this, the securitization process around the issue is analyzed during the years 2011 to 2019 and how this was translated at the operational strategic level. It is concluded that that it was here that the differences between the governments of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Mauricio Macri arose.
