América Latina y la seguridad internacional: el caso de Haití y las misiones de paz

Abstract

This work deals with mediation and certification experiences in Latin America and the most recent involvement of troops from the region countries in peace keeping operations. Though the end of the Cold War and transition to democracy favors a greater participation of countries like Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil in these operations, the analysis points out at some of the quandaries andchallenges entailed. It is stressed, in one hand, the trend that has made developing countries to become the main supplier of troops, and in the other hand, hindrances that come along with “stabilizing” operations that have been deployed in failed status, Duch as tose that are headed by Latin American diplomats in Haiti.
