| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article analyses the framing of themes and issues in terms of security in South America and the potential support for intervention in the region. The argument is developed that five elements contribute to understanding attitudes toward intervention in the region: the wider interest in the security sphere among South American elites as the Cold War drew to an end; the concern with the distribution of power in the international system; the portrayal of South America as a zone of peace; the broadening of the concept of security; and the centrality of the concept of state sovereignty. |
