War and Peace in the Amazon: Strategic Implications for the United States and Latin America of the 1995 Ecuador-Peru War.

Abstract

The author analyzes the strategic significance of the recent war between Ecuador and Peru. He maintains that the underlying basis I for the conflict is a serious threat to regional peace and security. This is doubly troubling because of the momentum towards democratization, the region-wide support for economic reform and integration, and the constructive efforts underway to promote greater cooperation between civilian authority and the military in Latin America. The author argues that unless this age-old dispute is settled and soon, it would generate a more disastrous war in the future. He concludes by recommending specific courses of action to resolve the conflict.
