This article questions those variables in view of their limitations and instead highlights ideational factors that intervened in the construction of a regional security model. Using constructivism and epistemic community conceptualization the article analysis the influence of ideational variables on Argentina’s and Brazil’s national interest formation on regional defense cooperation, identifying how, since democratization, the ideas of a set of actors shaped strategic identities. To this end, respective processes of defense policy formulation are reconstructed, with an emphasis on the actors involved in each country and the dialogue between them. The central argument is that, in order to understand both CDS creation and characteristics, the coincidences between both strategic identities must be taken into account: Argentina’s strategic identity based on the defensive model and cooperative security and Brazilian one, built on the deterrence model and the global player international role. Los análisis existentes sobre la creación del Consejo de Defensa Suramericano (CDS) se basan en variables vinculadas al poder, ponderando el liderazgo brasileño, en un contexto de fuerte asimetría con respecto a Argentina. Nuestro trabajo relativiza dichas variables en virtud de sus limitaciones, para subrayar los factores ideacionales que intervinieron en la construcción de un modelo de seguridad regional. A partir del constructivismo y la conceptualización de las comunidades epistémicas analizamos la influencia de factores ideacionales sobre la formación de los intereses nacionales de Brasil y Argentina con respecto a la cooperación regional en defensa, identificando la manera en que, desde la democratización, las ideas de un conjunto de actores dieron forma a las identidades estratégicas. Para esto se reconstruyen los respectivos procesos de formulación de las políticas de defensa, con énfasis en los actores involucrados en cada país y el diálogo entre ellos. El argumento central es que para entender tanto la creación como las características del CDS deben tenerse en cuenta las coincidencias entre ambas identidades estratégicas: la argentina, en torno al modelo defensivo y la seguridad cooperativa, y la brasileña, alrededor del modelo disuasorio y el rol de jugador global.
