About this Item

vii, [1], 60 p. Endnotes. Feedback card laid in. This is one of the Shaping the Regional Security Environment in Latin America Special Series. From an on-line posting: "The author analyzes Colombia's problems and makes recommendations regarding what it will take to achieve stated U.S. and Colombian objectives in that crisis situation. She also examines the concomitant issue of "spillover" from the Colombian crisis into the rest of the Latin American region. The results and recommendations of this analysis go well beyond prescribing a simple military solution to the complex political-economic-social-moral-security issues of this 50-year-old war. Luz Nagle is a Professor of Law at Stetson University College of Law. Professor Nagle's work concentrates on international criminal enterprises, terrorism, counter-insurgency, justicial reform, and national security law and U.S. foreign policy in Iberoamerica, and her writings and presentations probe the realities of the rule of law from a critical perspective that reflects her training and experience in both the Anglo-American and continental law systems."

About this title

Synopsis:

As American foreign policy and military asset management expand beyond the so-called "Drug War" in Colombia, Professor Luz Nagle analyzes that country's problems and makes recommendations regarding what it will take to achieve stated U.S. and Colombian objectives in that crisis situation. She also examines the concomitant issue of "spillover" from the Colombian crisis into the rest of the Latin American region. The results and recommendations of this analysis go well beyond prescribing a simple military solution to the complex political-economicsocial- moral-security issues of this 50-year-old war. In these terms, it becomes clear that the military in general and the U.S. Army in particular must change in order to operate more effectively in the full spectrum of current and future conflict.
