Latin America: The Unfinished Business of Security

Abstract

This report is a product of the Warriors in Peacetime Conference held at the Inter-American Defense College, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, DC, on December 11-12, 1992. This meeting was organized to explore the relationship between the theory and practice of democracy in Latin America, on the one hand, and the changing roles of the U.S. and Latin American militaries, on the other. The dialogue brought together a diverse group of scholars and civilian and military officials from the United States and Latin America. It was constructed around two major addresses, one by General George Joulwan, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Southern Command, and the other by the Honorable Bernard Aronson, Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. Three panels addressed the themes: 'The New World Order and the Democratic Imperative in Civil-Military Relations', 'The Unfinished Business of Security,' and 'Winning the Peace'. This report and the accompanying transcript cover the heart of the conference, namely: 'The Unfinished Business of Security.'
