'This highly useful survey of contemporary Latin American security demonstrates how growing sub-national security threats and persistent inter-state disputes combine to make military disputes more likely. Integrating domestic politics and international strategy, it provides a nuanced explanation for when and where states in Latin America resort to force, and what regional states and international organisations can do to diminish the risk of war.’ Harold Trinkunas, Professor, National Security Affairs, Naval Postgraduate College, Monterey, California
‘A thorough and useful contribution to the understanding of contemporary conflicts in Latin America.' Andres Serbin, President, Coordinadora Regional de Investigaciones Economicas y Sociales
