La defensa continental de América Latina en el pensamiento de Manuel Ugarte y Víctor R. Haya de la Torre (1900-1945)

Abstract

The general objective of this paper is to describe and analyze the ideas of con-tinental defense that Manuel Ugarte and Víctor R. Haya de la Torre professed during thefirst half of the twentieth century. The purpose is to identify, first, that Latinamerican intellectuals were concerned about international affairs in the region, and secondly, thatthese 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 real notion about the enemy.
