Warriors in Peacetime: New Directions for US Policy The Military and Democracy in Latin America / Edition 1

by Gabriel Marcella

Overview

What's should military warriors do in peacetime? Such was the theme of an international conference at the Inter-American Defense College in 1992 which brought together diplomats, military officials and distinguished academics to discuss the purpose of military institutions in Latin America in the new world order. The most important message of this book is that the order has by no means eliminated the need for armed forces.

Editorial Reviews

Eight papers from the Warriors in Peacetime Conference held at the Inter-American Defense College in Washington, D.C., December 1992, which brought together a mix of diplomats, military officials, and academics to discuss the issue of the purpose of military institutions in Latin America now that peace seems to have broken out. No matter. As General (Retd.) Fred F. Woerner concludes in his foreword, "US policymakers need to sustain a strategy of constructive engagement with the Latin American military institutions for the purpose of strengthening the foundations of democracy."
