The Biopower and Necropower of the National Security Doctrine Guatemala and Chile (1963-1973)

This research begins with a critique of traditional Cold War historiography in Latin America, which has privileged the geopolitical conflict between blocs and relegated its sociopolitical dimension.In response, it proposes to analyze the National Security Doctrine (NSD) not only as a military strategy, but as an ideological and political dispositif that reorganized the relationship between state, society, and violence, and that shaped internal security policies throughout Latin America.In particular, this study examines the cases of Guatemala and Chile in the context of the coups d'état of 1963 and 1973.
