| Sumario: | Environmental securitization has sparked global discussions and because of this macro aspect, regional issues are not always properly considered. In this sense, the question is: can a South American regional security complex be efficient and effective in putting together agendas suitable for the protection of socio biodiversity? The aim is to investigate the existence of regional defense mechanisms and strategies capable of understanding securitization processes and, above all, the interests that involve environmental discussions on the international scene. The creation of the regional defense dimension in environmental matters is essential for the formation of an autonomous and strategic defense thought given the geostrategic, geopolitical and geoeconomic relevance of the Amazon. Based on a pragmatic-systemic epistemological matrix, given the systemic-complex relationship that surrounds the theme, an interdisciplinary, bibliographical and documentary research approach is adopted for better understanding. In the end it was demonstrated that the formation of a Regional Security Complex in South America presents itself as a possibility to bring together similar agendas in a concert of wills capable of producing norms and agreements that meet the region's endogenous environmental needs, using dialogue forums such as the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization /ACTO and mechanisms such as the South American Defense Council. |
