Abstract

This research examines the role played by the Defense Committee at the Chilean House of Deputies in regards to the decision making process known Policy Mak-ing Process (PMP).

These other issues are related to supervising government’s decisions in the Defense sector, as well as a direct relationship with each branch of the Armed Forces, being considered the possibility of direct in uence of each Congressman in each of the service.
