This book explores interstate conflict and its dynamics in the
context of Latin America's contemporary conflict management
experience. The myth of Latin America as a region of peace means
that each time the use of force rises to the level of global
attention (e.g., Ecuador-Peru 1995 or Colombia-Ecuador 2008)
analysts and the press ask, "how could that happen here?" Yet the
official uses of military force in interstate relations are
significantly more prevalent than most analysts within and outside
the region understand, and the region is facing new and potentially
destabilizing challenges. It is the contention of this book that
mitigating the threat raised by militarized interstate relations
requires understanding the various ways in which military force can
be employed short of war; this in turn requires illuminating the
decision making process that produces militarization of a
disagreement, considering options for dissuading the decision
makers from choosing to militarize and limiting escalations when
militarization does occur.
