SECURITY COOPERATION IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE - RESOLVING THE ECUADOR-PERU CONFLICT

Reaching an enduring solution to the historic dispute between Ecuador and Peru is no small challenge: two centuries of disagreements have spawned a culture that intimidates those favoring lasting peace. This volume provides analyses of the historical, political, diplomatic, military, and international dimensions of the search for peace in the aftermath of the two nations' 1995 conflict.
Highlighting barriers to a solution, as well as the efforts of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and the United States to end the dispute, the authors maintain that a lasting peace between Ecuador and Peru is essential not only to sustaining their economic growth, but also to the entire region's ambitious plans for enhancing commercial integration and open regionalism.
