La profesionalización multidisciplinaria de la Fuerza Armada nacional Bolivariana de Venezuela para el impulso del desarrollo socioeconómico nacional

Abstract

This research analyzes the multidisciplinary professionalization of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) of Venezuela as a core strategy for promoting the country's socioeconomic development. The study is based on a descriptive qualitative paradigm, employing documentary analysis to examine directives, laws, and theoretical frameworks that underpin institutional evolution. It argues that, since the 1999 Constitution, a comprehensive security and defense model based on co-responsibility has been established, where national development is defined as an inseparable dimension of state security. Under this premise, officer training has transcended conventional warfare techniques to integrate technical and humanistic knowledge in public administration, education, production, and technology. The analysis contrasts Huntington's old professionalism with Stepan's new professionalism, validating how the institution assumes active roles in public management to mitigate social vulnerabilities. A key finding is the identification of a paradigm shift in military authority, moving from techniques of domination toward competency-based management and fraternal leadership, enabling military personnel to evolve into expert advisors and effective managers of public resources. It is concluded that this multidisciplinary training is the foundation of a resilient nation, transforming the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) into a dynamic engine that guarantees productive stability and social cohesion.
