| Summary/Abstract |
The balance of power in Latin America is shifting. Large, recently thriving countries like Brazil are struggling, hampered by domestic scandals. The economies of oil-dependent countries like Venezuela and Ecuador are stagnant, while other nations, such as Chile and Mexico, seem poised for growth. Amid this turbulence, countries are striving to reposition themselves. World Policy Journal consulted a panel of experts to help understand what issues are defining their countries’ changing roles in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
In June 2016, the Colombian Government and the FARC insurgent movement signed a ceasefire agreement, which brings the two sides one step closer to putting an end to over five decades of war. Unfortunately, Latin America has a rich history of insurgent movements, particularly during the cold war era, some of which continue to operate today. Most of these movements disappeared due to military operations, though some did so via peace negotiations. This essay aims to discuss the various ends of Latin American insurgencies to answer whether, indeed, insurgents can be negotiated with.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores current developments in Chile, where since the return to democracy in 1990, the elected authorities have reconfigured the nation’s military resources in favour of four action pillars: peacekeeping and international conflict management, landmine removal and gun disarmament, emergency and catastrophe response, and a concern for human, economic and social rights. Successive defence policies offer a valuable case study for exploring the trade-offs between security, traditional and non-traditional threat management and institutional capabilities. The article argues that human security policymaking is not free from undesired outcomes; specifically, regarding how to reconvene the role of the armed forces when conventional war seems a thing of the past. The paper focuses on the interagency policy implications and the challenges ahead for civilians and the military.

| Summary/Abstract |
WE AND LATIN AMERICA is a book by the prominent expert in Latin American studies Leonard Kosichev, which deals with Russians in Latin America and Latin Americans in Russia, and the ties between our countries ab initio to the present day. The author utilizes a down-to-earth manner to talk about people, thanks to whom Russians and Latin Americans got to know one another better. They were representatives of two different worlds, who stood out from the crowd. Many of them were seafarers, travelers, scientists, diplomats, cultural figures, expatriates, volunteers who participated in the liberation struggle in Latin America, and simply adventurers. As the topic of the book is fairly wide, the author selected the most significant and interesting facts. Hence, the subtitle of the book is Selected Chronicles of Different Times.
