Abstract:
Most of the extraordinary waves of terror which have swept many Latin American societies since 1970 have occurred in guerrilla-based insurgencies or even civil wars. Because of the massive body counts produced during these confrontations between revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries based in or linked with a government, human rights organizations have issued a long series of reports about terror—especially that which has been carried out by incumbent regimes and death squads—and which has been supplemented by the exposés of the guerrillas themselves. Amnesty International, the Human Rights group in the Organization of American States (OAS), and Americas Watch have been the major international actors documenting the wave of terror. Many independent national groups, such as El Salvador's “Socorro Juridico” and other human rights organizations linked with church bodies have undertaken that more perilous task at home.

Abstract:
Colombia is one the oldest democracies in the continent, but it holds the record for having the longest internal armed conflict in Latin America. The emergence of guerrillas, drug trafficking, and the proliferation of criminal groups, combined with the state's shortcomings, have made this territory a hotbed of conflict. Despite having a stable economy and plenty of resources the country is struggling to find long lasting peace.

Abstract:
<p>After several coups assisted by US agencies since the fifties in Latin America, and deep economic crises in the eighties and the nineties in South America explained by “the rule of markets” enforced by multilateral organizations, the US leadership in the Americas has been lost, and democratic countries have turned against neoliberalism with wide popular support inside a new “South American revolution” with important projects of integration. Colombia has become the capital in South America for US leadership in economics and politics, and the only country that still has guerrillas, paramilitary armies, and internal conflict. What has been the role of the US in Colombian conflict? What is in stake with the new peace process in Colombia? How this process will affect the US leadership in Latin America? These are some questions that will be reviewed by Noam Chomsky, one of the most influential thinkers of our times.</p>

Abstract:
In January 2001, before the Conference on Latin American History decided to link its annual luncheon address to the recipient of its Distinguished Service Award, I had the honor of speaking at the CLAH luncheon, and in that previous talk I briefly discussed the circumstances that led to my becoming a Latin Americanist. Here I return to the theme of becoming a historian of Latin America, but this time I will be drawing not on my own rather unremarkable experience, but instead on my current research for an intellectual biography of the renowned Latin Americanist Frank Tannenbaum (1893–1969), whose path to specialization in Latin American history was considerably more remarkable.

Abstract:
Venezuelan politics attracted little attention from political scientists for thirty years after the defeat of the fidelista guerrillas in the 1960s, but there has been a surge of interest in recent years. The country retained civilian, elected govern- ment through a dark period of authoritarianism in Latin America, which seemed to make it a good candidate for deriving lessons about transitions to democracy. In the 1990s, however, the democratic system entered into crisis. Venezu- ela experienced urban riots, two unsuccessful coups, removal of a president from office before completion of his term, rising electoral abstention, collapse of the traditional parties at the heart of the system, and the election of a coup leader to the presidency. Attention shifted from what went right to what went wrong. These books help us understand the limitations of the Venezuelan democratic model.

Full text
Abstract:
In order to analyze the potential of a relationship between terrorist groups and state violence, this paper analyzes two case studies from Latin America - that of Sendero Luminoso, in Peru, and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (the FARC), in Colombia – and two cases from the Middle East and North Africa – that of al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya in Egypt and Muqtada al-Sadr’s Mehdi Army in Iraq. After a review of the cases and general literature on regime violence and terrorism around the world, this paper proposes a likely correlation between an increase in state violence and an escalation in the use of terrorism. The paper proposes that this correlation occurs because state violence inspires feelings of revenge among opposition groups and citizens, increases the popularity of guerrillas, decreases the popularity and legitimacy of the state, and promotes the perception that violence is both an acceptable political tool and the only option for opposition groups seeking a political voice. The findings of this study indicate that policy makers should reconsider their use of violent, repressive responses to political opposition, and should refrain from “fighting fire with fire” in order to take steps towards the eradication of terrorism around the world.

Abstract:
Juan Fermin de Aycinena became the wealthiest, the most prominent, and probably the most powerful individual in late colonial Central America. A mid-eighteenth century immigrant from Navarre (via New Spain), Aycinena adroitly manipulated Spanish colonial institutions (family, state and church) in amassing unrivalled wealth, status, and power. To be sure, Aycinena displayed remarkable business acumen. But he also had the great fortune to arrive in Central America at the time of its greatest economic expansion, based largely on indigo. Numerous entrepreneurs took advantage of the opportunities presented by the dramatic economic growth, but Aycinena's success dwarfed all others. Staked to great wealth through his first marriage, he became the region's leading exporter, importer, and lender. At the same time, he became an important buttress of Spanish power in Central America. Aycinena contributed to commercial expansion, isthmian defense, and the church. A decisive moment in his ascent came in the aftermath of the 1773 destruction of Santiago de Guatemala, capital of colonial Central America. The physical transfer and construction of a new Central American capital was largely his responsibility. For his numerous services to the Spanish Crown, Aycinena received a Castilian title, the only title in late colonial Central America. The acquisition of the title in itself illustrates an important phenomenon, the dual operation of prestige and profit motives. A further indication of such combined motives was his establishment, in the year of his death, of an entailed estate. Aycinena was able to place his family in such a position that it would continue to dominate Central America politics, commerce, and society for much of the nineteenth century, and in some ways, even to the present. Although Aycinena was the Kingdom of Guatemala's most successful businessman, and thus an exceptional one, his career nevertheless tells us much about business, politics, and society in Bourbon Central America

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter focuses on the actors of the armed struggle option of Latin American social movements, la via armada. Starting from a discussion of the main theories of Revolution, revolutionary movements and social revolutions, it passes to the more modern concept of revolutions “with a small r” that is gaining prominence in the theory and practice of revolutionary movements in contemporary Latin America. Then, it moves on to present the social (class, gender) and educational background of the guerrilleras/guerrilleros, both leaders and grassroots, the main strategies that have been elaborated and followed by Latin American guerrillas, and how they have evolved in time through trial and error (from foquismo, to the prolonged people’s war, and the Chilean road to socialism). It also analyzes some particularly interesting and unlikely cases of Latin American revolutionaries: poets, priests, and military men. In addition it traces the sources of inspiration and resonance of revolutionary movements and the role of other Latin American states, especially Cuba, in their development. The chapter concludes by arguing that while it seems the age of Latin American Revolutions with a capital R is coming to an end, we may be entering an age of revolutions (with a small r, following John Holloway) in which Revolution has changed meaning, becoming more of a political process, and not so much of a political event.
