The defense culture in Spain: a new approach for its promotion from civil society.- Joel Díaz Rodríguez

The perception of security, defense and the armed forces has been an issue not exempt from prejudices and taboos in Spanish society. This is due to the contemporary history of Spain, which has produced a negative perception in a large part of Spanish society. However, the need to overcome old conceptions and to make citizens aware of the risks and threats to our security makes it necessary to put in practice a policy of expanding the culture of security and defense through education at all levels to improve society’s understanding of the current role that defense and the armed forces play, as well as of Spain’s commitment to security and peace at the global level. This policy must actively involve civil society and, above all, include the support and participation of young leaders who help spread this idea.
