Security, stability and sovereignty challenges of politicized gangs and insurgents in the Americas
There are numerous small, irregular, asymmetric, and revolutionary wars ongoing around the world today. In these conflicts, there is much to be learned by anyone who has the responsibility of dealing with, analyzing, or reporting on national security threats generated by state and non-state actors. The cases we examine (Mexico, Jamaica, Colombia, Argentina, and Peru) demonstrate how the weakening of national stability, security, and sovereignty c…
Gangs and Coups D' Streets in the New World Disorder: Protean Insurgents in Post-modern War
The mutation of protean “street gangs” to insurgents illustrates that insurgents need not be ideologically oriented, and need not be traditional revolutionary fighters emerging from the mountains and jungles to take down or control a government. Rather, they may have their own specific commercial money-making motives, and can emerge out of the favelas, callampas, villas miserias, and pueblas jovenes (city slums) not so much to replace governments…
Security in the Americas: Neither Evolution nor Devolution – Impasse
This article begins with a discussion of sovereignty and goes on to discuss the idea of national security threats with reference to two different levels of analysis. First, the traditional-legal versus a more realistic contemporary level of analysis. Second, the operational, strategic, and political levels of analysis. The traditional concept tends to focus attention on the tactical-operational levels of activity, and the more contemporary notion…
Non-State Actors in Colombia: Threats to the State and to the Hemisphere
This study seeks to explain the Colombian crisis in terms of non-state threats to the state and to the region. The problem in Colombia is that that country, and its potential, is deteriorating because of three ongoing, simultaneous, and interrelated wars involving the illegal drug industry, various insurgent organizations (primarily the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, FARC), and ‘vigilante’ paramilitary groups (the United Self- Defense Gr…
United States Security Policy in the Western Hemisphere: Why Columbia, Why Now, and What is to be Done
An evaluation of US policy toward Latin America and Columbia and its implications for the military begins with an understanding of the purposes and patterns of intervention over the years. An evaluation of contemporary security policy in the Western Hemisphere also hinges on an understanding of the broadening view of US national security. In developing these themes, this article (1) analyzes the major tenets of US policy toward Latin America, and…

Peace and Stability Lessons from Bosnia
The United States' civil-military involvement in the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, with NATO and other elements of the international community, has been a major topic in the national and international security dialogue since the 1995 signing of the Dayton Peace Accords for Bosnia. Many have concluded, in light of that experience and subsequent developments, that conflict of the sort encountered in the Balkans may well be a harbinger of futu…
Confronting the ‘Savage wars of peace’: Lessons from the US Army experience in Bosnia‐Herzegovina
This report focuses on four of the most salient challenges derived from the US Army experience in Bosnia‐Herzegovina. They concern: (1) the high possibility of future multinational and multiorganizational peace and stability operations; (2) the need for an integrated strategic planning process; (3) the need to develop mature service, joint, and coalition peace and stability operations doctrine; and (4) the need to understand and deal with the pol…

Peru's Sendero Luminoso: The Shining Path Beckons
A security threat confronts the West from the world's gray areas—regions where control is shifting to half-political, half-criminal transnational powers, such as Peru's Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path). Sendero Luminoso's vision, organization, and action program provide a new Marxist-Leninist-Maoist model for reforming political actors operating in other gray areas. Until the Sendero Luminoso insurgency is seriously addressed at the strategic leve…

The Security of Panama and the Canal: Now and for the Future
The old certainties of the Cold War, and the conventional attrition-type war implicit in it, have gone. In their place we now have a world of dangerous uncertainty and ambiguity in which old concepts of security are no longer relevant. The present security and future of Panama and the Panama Canal after the year 2000 is a case in point.This article will take a look at the issue of Canal security within the context of the contemporary "new world d…

Career Patterns and Attitudes of Military-Political Elites in Brazil: Similarity and Continuity, 1964-1975
In this paper a narrow but intensive elite study is made which attempts to: (1) examine the types of individuals recruited into the Brazilian executive; (2) make a theoretical elaboration of the goals and expectations of the Brazilian executive; and (3) explore the linkage between and develop testable propositions dealing with socio-professional backgrounds and political attitudes of the post-1964 Brazilian executive. The study is organized aroun…
