This article aims to address the topic “Chile and the Global Security Challenges,” proposing a notion of security related to any violent and intentional phenomenon that, as a result of its occurrence, causes mortality. This is considered from the perspective of a small country like Chile, which is notably interconnected at the global level. Consequently, Chile should assume a potentially greater impact from the main global threats. In summary, it is stated that in the current security scenario, geographical distance from these phenomena is no longer necessarily a factor that prevents the effects of such threats on the security of a state.
