Abstract

This article analyzes the financing of Chile's defense and its use by the Military Force. Based on the analysis of the strategic scenario in Chile, the author postulates defense planning by demand - capacity and a plan-program-budget-execution methodology as a tool for budgetary policy on the matter. It adds the need for coordination between defense, military and foreign policy, as well as between the armed forces, through joint planning. It details updated figures on the financing of defense and the necessary adjustments that it should have, a fundamental issue in the framework of the new constitutional discussion.
