Abstract

The main idea of the article focuses on the analysis of the concept of Defense Diplomacy. The Spanish version was chosen as the starting point, which is compared to Russian foreign policies in the field of international defense. It is emphasized that the adoption of a global version on the agents that interact in security problems, incorporation of the Ministry of Defense in the State's foreign action, today responds effectively to the demands of the international environment. Lacking de jure the Defense Diplomacy plan, and taking into consideration that all its essential foreign and defense policy strategies will expire in 2020, it is time to redefine its methods and approaches. This research aims to shed some light on the existing Defense Diplomacy modalities, and on why the elaboration of such a national concept is so important.
