Assessing Military Missions -- 2. Defense -- 3. Internal Security -- 4. Disaster Relief -- 5. Social Programs -- 6. Conclusion.This book demonstrates through country case studies that, contrary to received wisdom, Latin American militaries can contribute productively, but under select conditions, to non-traditional missions of internal security, disaster relief, and social programs. Latin American soldiers are rarely at war, but have been called upon to perform these missions in both lethal and non-lethal ways. Is this beneficial to their societies or should the armed forces be left in the barracks? As inherently conservative institutions, they are at their best, the author demonstrates, when tasked with missions that draw on pre-existing organizational strengths that can be utilized in appropriate and humane ways. They are at a disadvantage when forced to reinvent themselves. Ultimately, it is governments that must choose whether or not to deploy soldiers, and they should do so, this book argues, based on a pragmatic assessment of the severity and urgency of the problem, the capacity of the military to effectively respond, and the availability of alternative solutions. David Pion-Berlin is a Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Riverside, USA. He is a Latin Americanist whose numerous books and articles have focused on civil-military relations, defense, security, and human rights. .Politics, Economics, and Inclusive Development,2945-6444AmericaPolitics and governmentPolitics and warDevelopment economicsComparative governmentPolitical planningPublic administrationAmerican PoliticsMilitary and Defence StudiesDevelopment EconomicsComparative PoliticsPublic PolicyPublic AdministrationAmericaPolitics and government.Politics and war.Development economics.Comparative government.Political planning.Public administration.American Politics.Military and Defence Studies.Development Economics.Comparative Politics.Public Policy.Public Administration.355.02098Pion-Berlin Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut125852BOOK9910255306503321Military Missions in Democratic Latin America2534658UNINA
