BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: part of a serial Guatemala: inestabilidad: lo unico estable / Pensamiento Propio REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): Pensamiento propio : 9., p. 5-10. - Managua : INVIES, CRIES, 1983. LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: The article describes the history of Guatemala since the invasion of 1954, instructed by the CIA and aproved by the Eisenhower administration. Since then the instability has become a rule in the policy of Guatemala, a model country for the US counterinsurgency strategy. And why is this, the ex-commander of the Southern Command in Panama, Wallace Nutting defines it: "Guatemala is the strategic center of Centyral America, as important as the huge oilfields of Mexico. The importance of a marxist take-over in Guatemala would be much much more serious as in El Salvador." INDEX WORDS:

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: part of a serial Test case for the Reagan Doctrine : the covert "Contra" war / Kornbluh, Peter REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): Third world quarterly : No. 10(1)., 21. - London : Third World Foundation for Social and Economic Studies, 1988. - ISSN 0143-6597 / 88 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: As Reagan enters his last year as US president, overthrowing the Sandinista government in Nicaragua continues to dominate his foreign policy agenda. Notwithstanding the major scandal over illegal aid to the 'Contras' and strident debate over future official US assistance, his administration remains committed to a course of escalating intervention. This obsession, overshadowing all the other foreign policy issues during the administration's two terms in office, has ensured that the CIA / Contra campaign against the Sandinistas will become the heritage of the Reagan presidency. Thus, to assess Reagan's probable place in history and the significance of the so-called Reagan doctrine of 'rollback', it is necessary to examine the evolution and implications of the US war on Nicaragua.

In the case of Colombia, the writer thinks, the goal is to maintain the actual government. According to this, the low intensity conflict is pointed against the social and political forces, which aim to change the country's policy. INDEX WORDS:

LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: After 60 years the United States changed its global strategy of warfare. This change was a result of the experiences gained in the war against the liberation movements, especially in the periode after the second world war, in which the most notable conflict was fought in Vietnam. Since then the Northamericans realized that the traditional strategy to fight the revolutionary movements on the battel field and to win them with purely military means, would not be enough, and that it was necessary to change the whole warfare strategy. It was seen as necessary to combine two elements: the military means and the reformist demagogy. This lead to the preventive counterrevolution, known as the national security doctrine. INDEX WORDS:

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: part of a serial Guerra sucia, guerra extrana / Giraldo Velez, Mario REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): Margen izquierda : 43., p. 4-6. - Bogota, 1989. LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: The strange war, the dirty war, has been going on in Colombia for decades. The left wing consideres it the work of the fascist forces of the country, the war being realized by the military and paramilitary forces. The article is worried about the war against the drugs, because it implicates so many restrictions against the popular movement. The article demands that the drug war must be realized as a war against the fascist forces, and that the drug dealers should be seen as one element in this wider struggle. The writer thinks that the conquist of the fascists in Colombia would mean the victory over the dirty war in all it's components. INDEX WORDS:

ISBN 0-275-93049-1 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: In January a civilian president, the Cristian Democrat Vinicio Cerezo Arevalo, took the president's office after relatively free elections.This ended the open military dominance in Guatemala, which had been the form of governemant after the overthrow of the liberal president Arbenz in 1954.The main concern of the military forces has been the agrarian reform, which since Arbenz's time has made little progress.The counterinsurgency program has replaced the local governments in the highland by almost complete military control.The Cerezo's civil government has limited possibilities to respond on the demands of the rural poor, again rising the cuestions of the land ownership.A real land reform would mean that real power would be shifted to the rural poor population.This, again, would lead to a quick end to Guatemala's democracy.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph Human rights in Peru after President Garcia's first year / ; Americas Watch, 119 p.. - New York : Americas Watch Committee, 1986. ISBN 0-938579-25-8 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: The 1984 American Watch report on Peru documented the cruel measures the insrugency known as Sendero Luminoso practiced against civilians, as well as severe abuses committed by the government in the course of its counter-insurgency campaign, condemning the violations on both sides. When President Garcia took office on July 29, 1985, his inaugural message offered hope for change.It included specific references to a new policy that proposed to intill a scrupulous respect for internationally-recognized standards of human rights within the conduct of counter-insurgency campaign. Peru has indeed experienced dramatic changes regarding human rights over the past year.At the end of Garcia's first year in office, the gains that have been made in the battle for human rights are in serious jeopardy.It is not, however, too late for President Garcia to give momentum to his peace and human rights initiatives.

LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: The situation in Peru is uninviable.In Sendero Luminoso, the country faces the most brutal and vicious gerrilla organization that has yet appeared in the Western hemisphere.Yet, despite its dogmatic ideology and repugnant character, Sendero seems able to exploit effectively the misery and alienation in Ayacucho, an imporished section of the country that has suffered from centuries of neglect, and worse, by the central government.Moreover, in attempting to combat Sendero, Peru ois handicapped not only by a severe economic crisis but also by institutions of law and order that are demoralized and corrupt, and that are held in low regard by most Peruvians.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph The Central-Americanization of Colombia : human rights and the peace process / ; Americas Watch, 147 p.. - New York : Americas Watch Committee, 1986. LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: This report examines the peace process, the forces that have undermined it, and its relationship to human rights violations in Colombia during the past three years (1983-1986).Many Colombians believe that the peace process, whatever its limitations, defused tensions that were leading the country toward civil war.The evidence we have gathered suggests that human rights abuses in Colombia could mount disastrously unless the process Betancur started is revived and taken several steps further.Colombia needs civilian control of the military, meaningful punishment for human rights violations, an authentic political opening to disenfranchised sectors and dissident groups, and openness to economic reform.Without such progress, incidents like the confrontation at the Palace pf Justice will come to be seen as only the prelude to catastrophe.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph Civil patrols of Guatemala / ; Americas Watch, 105 p.. - New York : Americas Watch Committee, 1986. ISBN 0-938579-24-X LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: For more than thirty years, Guatemala's human rights conditions have been among the worst in the hemisphere.Peasants' attempts to improve their economic situation, students' calls for democracy, labor unions' efforts to achieve a decent wage, new political parties' initiatives and old parties dissent, have all met with a remarkable level ovf repression even in the absence of an active guerrilla threat.In the early 1980s, a resurgence of both peaceful protest and guerrilla activity led the army to reorganize and intensify its counterinsurgency effort.Today the Guatemalan civil patrol system, called PAC, is the most extensive counterinsurgency model of its kind in the world. PAC is designed for two purposes: to augment the army's military strength and intelligence in areas of conflict, and more important, to provide vigilance and control of the local population, preventing any form of local organization.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph Guerra de baja intensidad : Reagan contra Centroamerica / Bermudez, Lilia, 229 p.. - Mexico : Siglo veintiuno editores, 1988. LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: Considered by the US government as a prolonged counterinsurgency war to confront the liberation movements and the government in the Third World defined as enemies, the doctrine of the low intensity conflict includes three central factors: the counter-insurgency, the reversion of the revolutionary processes, and the antiterrorism. As its main goal the recuperation of its global hegemony, the Reagan administration planted an agressive external policy connected closely to the establishment of the defense policy, where the military solutions have a high priority. The reformulation of the military strategy of the United States parts from the critical revision of the political and military errors committed in Vietnam. The strategy has a wide scale, from broken diplomatic rfelations to a direct military intervention.This book studies the internal factors of this policy, its implications in the military defense doctrine of the Reagan administration, the structural changes of the US military forces, and the implementation of this policy in Central America.
