摘要：----- This state of knowledge shows the main definitions, tools and variables regarding the Theory of Regional Security Complexes developed by Barry Buzan and Ole Weaver. This theory sets that the international political field should be analyzed through specific regional circuits, whose structures are defined by rich security interactions among the units integrating them. The geographical factors gain relevance in this context given that, in most of the cases, the threats produce a bigger interdependence between neighbors than between units separated by long distances. Thus, the theory proposes a worldwide varied tipology of regional security complexes, explaining the reasons of the absence of such complexes as well as the possibilities of change inside the structures. At the beginning of the XXIst century, this academical framework enables us to develop a deeper analysis about the dinamics that characterizes the international distribution of power and the global architecture of security.
