HODGE DUPRE, Eduardo. The Latin Américan continental defense in the thinking of Manuel Ugarte and Víctor R. Haya de la Torre (1900-1945). Latinoamérica [online]. 2011, n.52, pp. 139-164. ISSN 1665-8574.

The general objective of this paper is to describe and analyze the ideas of continental defense that Manuel Ugarte and Víctor R. Haya de la Torre professed during the first half of the twentieth century. The purpose is to identify, first, that Latinamerican intellectuals were concerned about international affairs in the region, and secondly, that these ideas were beyond the integration and antiimperialism. Roughly, the hypothesis of this study is to show that both intellectuals thought that continental defense would not be effective if the Latin American integration not was achieved nor was there clarity about who would attack, therefore, a realnotion about the enemy.
