| Summary/Abstract |
Argentine Vice-President Amado Boudou on 2 February responded to recent developments in the Argentina-UK territorial dispute over the Falklands Islands (Malvinas) by asserting that "British colonialism is a shame for humanity". That statement came on the day that Prince William, second in line to the UK throne, arrived in the South Atlantic islands to begin a six-week tour of duty as a rescue helicopter pilot, and only two days after the UK had announced the deployment of a Type-45 destroyer to the area. Both of those actions have been presented by the UK authorities as "routine". If that is the case, it has not been perceived that way in Argentina, where a range of political figures from both government and opposition have condemned the UK moves as bellicose and threatening.

| Summary/Abstract |
The genesis of this article was my relating to a fellow Falklands veteran some 39 years later the experiences of repatriating Argentine POWs, and soon after, taking up his suggestion to ‘commit to paper to add to the “Corporate memory”’. And as I look back and reflect, I see that what we faced was a unique, untried and untested situation for which there was no recent operational precedent. I am not a ‘diary person’, but my memories of these events are still sharp and vivid. And although I now realise with hindsight the challenges and potential pitfalls, at that time it was a matter of just ‘get on and sort it as best we can with what we’ve got’, and yes, with pooling joint experiences and much common military sense, we effectively ‘winged it’, soon hitting on the solution that worked. I also remember well the many debriefs from the hordes of experts that descended on the Canberra during our return voyage home – on the many and varied subjects of battle procedure, weapon and equipment performance, minor tactics, command and control and so on, but strangely, and it never occurred to me at the time, I cannot recall any debrief on POW handling, so maybe these recollections can now be added to all those other official accounts…

| Summary/Abstract |
This article contends that the combined efforts of the ministries of foreign affairs and defence in nine countries of South and Central America, the G9, can be considered a nascent but not yet developed security community. Due to a growing capacity for crisis management which includes the search for political solutions to structural conflict and to political, economic and social deficits in Haiti, the article demonstrates that South American countries are developing a novel concept for post-conflict response. Finally, in the context of democratization, Argentina's participation in peace missions generates domestic elements strongly committed to peace operations.
