Two interpretations of interstate conflicts in South America are examined. Next, the reference literature is reviewed. The context is similar to what is seen in the framework of the studies on armed conflict, with the contribution of international relations and political science. Initially, it presents a methodology that attempts, albeit in a limited way, to contribute to a still little explored aspect of the research on Defence. At least, it deals with the widespread interpretation that South America is a peaceful region. Based on such sources, the study seeks a better understanding of the conflicts in South America, identifying their classification in comparison with the dynamics of international conflicts that occurred in the same period.
This study is rooted in the reflection of the main scholars in the field and the contribution of international research institutes dedicated to the subject. This article revisits the literature on the taxonomy of interstate conflicts, contrasting it with historical data focused on South America, and thus questions traditional classifications and the argument that the region is peaceful. The international scenario is dynamic, adapting to new situations, therefore, periodically it becomes necessary to make an exercise of (re) thinking the realities of interstate conflicts. Understanding and classifying conflicts is not new.
