1. Flexibility/Adaptation/Leadership 

In the statement of structural problems of a Nation which, undoubtedly, require national strategies enrolled in State Policies, it is necessary the analysis of detailed and up-to-date situation, determining which are the scope and limitations of their own, which are the targets for this sector in particular, which type of resources are and will be involved, what are the stakeholders in both the public and private sector, the linking of the sectoral objectives with national objectives, clearly identifying what are the obstacles to the implementation (legal, resources, international interests, etc), what will be the benefits. It is necessary to accompany the planning of a mechanism to verify the fulfilment of the objectives of the sector. To achieve this, it is necessary to respond with a structure suitable for the attainment of the objectives in the framework of a situation increasingly complex. 

This complexity of the present scenarios requires quick response and sharp. You need to think different, to develop the flexibility to adapt to the changes by introducing new processes, incorporating technology, but primarily with a proactive attitude and innovative devoid of prejudices.  

Referring to Human Security, Kaldor arises: is it utopian to suggest that this (and thus the protection of the resources that make their survival) provides a new language to address the risks, dangers and hazards contemporaries? The challenge is cognitive rather than practical. He concludes by saying: Human security requires a transformation in the way you think. It is essential to think about answers to questions that have not yet been formulated.   

In this way, he says, that offers an easy way to understand the holistic framework that can serve as a doctrine governing consistent.  

I emphasize this last assertion and the need to take a holistic look and, without any doubt, renewed, and without prejudices, from the protection of our sovereignty and the resources of our Nation. It is essential for a thorough revision of the existing legislation in order to adapt it to the current times and the generation of resources to turn ideas into impact. 

When the crisis strikes the vertigo of its development does not give rise to responses bureaucratic. The inter-agency task force with a serious strategic orientation must generate networks interjurisdiccionales that include the private, to the academy and to all who can bring to the team, being in fitness of an interaction based on trust in the knowledge and experiences of each area, generating a system of transverse response. That trust is built from the serious work of a team that recognizes the merits and capabilities of its members who work with the strategic orientation translated into concrete, achievable objectives, priorities and the allocation of resources necessary for its development. The teams that make up must have continuity in time. It is not reasonable that the jurisdiction of the government change of interlocutor in each work meeting. On the other hand, on countless occasions the big announcements of projects that respond to a strategic line fall into oblivion when they are not supported by budgetary allocations. 

It should emphasize the need of a work in which we combine the experiences and diverse knowledge with the aim of compliance with the constitutional mandate to provide for the common defence and, therefore, the protection of our resources. 

Analyzing the Security Strategy of the Kingdom of Spain, Félix Arteaga speaks of the need for “beams” to navigate in a context of geopolitical, geo-economic and geotecnológico as the current. Argues that address systemic challenges would need to be a focus of homeland security to coordinate and prioritize policies in the economic, educational, industrial, and scientific in an integrated way. Raises the need for an integration that does not yet have a body of leadership cross-sectional and, above all, a system and culture of economic security that proves that. Added to that, to compete in a context of deconstruction of the rules of the market, the countries need intelligence capabilities and economic influence them to provide the highest possible levels of resilience and strategic autonomy. Undoubtedly the “Mainstreaming” of the leadership in the field of national Security makes the chances of success of a policy of defense. 

It is very clear the need for a strategic management particularly in the combination of a clear leadership, cross-sectional and the empowerment of the members of the team that is in accordance to move forward without undergoing the bureaucracy of organizations that have not adapted to the times in which we are placed. 

Model identification of stakeholders.

It must, necessarily, involve all the necessary sectors and stakeholders to contribute to reduce vulnerabilities, prevent risks, to be able to deter threats and, if necessary, to activate with all the resources of the national potential to protect the Vital Interests of the Nation, its Sovereignty, Independence and self-Determination, territorial Integrity, and the Freedom of its inhabitants.  

2. Advance Strategic 

The National Defense as part inseparable from the National Security, is immersed in the dynamics of uncertainty own the strategic environment in the complex times we live in is huge. To resolve the tension between the forecast and the uncertainty is, according to Hoffman, the holy grail of a good strategy. It is for this reason that it requires Advance Continued Strategic, Foresight and Strategic Intelligence, developing Indicators, early warning, in order to face the new and ever-changing scenarios.  

If we look carefully at our geography, in the large empty demographic, huge maritime spaces full of resources that are currently threatened, the reserves of fresh water, the rare earths and the projection Antarctica, we cannot rule out the potential of the dispute by our sovereign territory. Bartholomew appointment to one of the most famous strategists contemporary, Colin Gray, who posed as follows: “the geography defines the players (whether they are States or not), often defines the objectives for which players compete, and always defines the terms in which they measure their safety in relation to other actors.”   

The processes that ultimately must prevent surprises strategic collide many times with methodological limitations with pathologies organisational own systems have not been adapted. Collide with cognitive biases that includes the information overload (infoxication), and among others the excess of confidence or as they say the English-speaking the “Wishful thinking” that leads us to think that CAN HAPPEN to US. We must add the lack of creative thought, and primarily the lack of responsiveness of those who have responding or decide. That's why I think that, with a license of interpretation, we can say that it is for this last point that Bauman says, when he argues that: “The truth that frees men (in our case which protects) is in large part the truth which men prefer not to hear.” The description of the vulnerabilities, risks and threats is not something that policy-makers want to hear.  

We were able to observe, with grief and shame that naval units in our country do not participate in exercises of enormous relevance to the regional waters of our sister Republic of Peru on the occasion of the bicentennial of its independence. This nation to whom we are bound by historical ties and deep, it will count with the participation of the Navies of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, united States, Mexico, Panama, Dominican Republic and Uruguay. The only one absent was the Navy of the Argentine Republic. We invested months of training, months of planning with other countries, and time spent by hundreds of members of the Argentine Navy, the resources of all the argentines to a strategic activity for which authorisation was not even treated by Deputies. This demonstrates the lack of interest of our politicians in one of the issues of greater importance assigned to it by the governments of the world: the Defense.  

It is essential to the creation of consciousness in the highest level of the leadership of the Nation-State on the need for the development of a state policy of Defense and the development of the corresponding approach.  

The surveillance, control and preservation, as appropriate, of the space sea island and river, aerospace, cyberspace, space and terrestrial, are obligations of the National State. We must not forget that, in a global context of increasing scarcity of Natural Resources, renewable and non-renewable energy and severe damage to the environment, the quest for ensuring access to energy, water, land, food and the strategic minerals can lead to phenomena of social upheaval, friction geo-political and even wars. 

If we think that the chances of occurrence of crises or conflicts are limited at this time, this does not mean that with the acceleration and the vertigo of the times that do not change and in a surprising way. This poses a systemic challenge in which all the national potential must be coordinated and articulated. If we lack a strategic vision and let a situation, complicated and with many deficiencies, we are unable to build policies of state, we will be making a mistake that surely will result in severe consequences that the generations that come after us will suffer. 

3. Regional Cooperation 

Without a doubt, the regional cooperation and partnership in the framework of schemes of Cooperative Security, or Collective and co-operation in the framework of structures of regional economy, are important, as they pursue the mutual support and the combined work to maximize the strengths, to prevent the risks and face the threats that affect the region as a whole. This scheme raises the prevention and interagency cooperation in addition to the interoperability of the available resources. 

In these schemes the input part of a basis of a self-sufficiency in the surveillance and control of our spaces sovereign minimum on the part of the participants. Pretending to cooperate without having minimum capacity is an approach that only serves for the formality, but in no way is a possible answer.  

It is for this reason that the design of a Strategic Plan derived from the Defense policy in the framework of the National Security Strategy is essential. This should be based on the development of a Foresight and Strategic Intelligence, which allows us to have elements of judgment, guiding the reorganization of all the available means of adapting to the challenges of the present and of the future, fostering the integration and complementarity of efforts of all national resources and generating a framework of scientific development of advanced, with an industry-oriented to produce its own technology to achieve self-sufficiency defensive and the consequent protection of our resources.
