Sumario:This article analyzes the social imagery of security based on the National Security Doctrine and its representations regarding the security policy of the Mexican State on the southern border of Mexico in the early xxist century. In regard, we firstly discuss the National Security Doctrine as a representation of the political imagery of security in theory. Secondly, we undertake an analysis of some representations of international cooperation policy regarding security that guide the actions of Mexico’s foreign policy aimed at containing threats from abroad, which have been located on the southern border. Thirdly, we highlight the effectiveness of the construction of the political imagery of Mexican border security as an extension of the political imagery of the National Security Doctrine adopted by our country in order to represent the vulnerability of the southern border.
