Instituted four years ago, the purpose of the eJournal is to provide a forum for the publication of articles, essays, reviews, and commentary by members of the military education and academic communities relevant to Western Hemisphere security and defense. To date, the eJournal has enjoyed considerable success in that endeavor, and has contributed to the spread of scholarly work to colleagues throughout the region. As one of the several elements of our outreach and public affairs programs, the SDSR is an important component of our efforts to provide continuing contact among members of the security and defense community in the Hemisphere. It is of great interest to me, and to the Center, to know that the eJournal fulfills your expectations in this regard. I encourage each of you to make comments and recommendations to the Center. Dr. Herbert C. Huser is the Senior Editor, the day-to- day manager of the Security and Defense Studies Review. The journal welcomes your input at his email ([email protected]) or at the eJournal email ([email protected]). As always, we encourage you to submit items for consideration for the eJournal. The submission requirements and deadlines are indicated in the Submissions sections below. This issue of the eJournal focuses primarily on Central America and Mexico in terms of Hemispheric Security issues and different perspectives on involvement. Three of the articles and a special feature address these matters. In that South America often seems to receive the “lion’s share” of attention with regard to Hemispheric defense and security matters, we hope this issue will provide other views and venues for addressing the common themes. In addition, this edition features an article by Dr. David Pion-Berlin that was judged to be the best paper at the REDES forum at Santiago, Chile in 2003. On a personal note, I am very proud and excited to be the new Director of CHDS. I look forward to engaging with you to better understand the issues of security and defense in the region. Al link to my biographical sketch is provided below, so that you may have access to more information about me as I begin my tenure as Director. Once again, we here at CHDS welcome your comments and seek to continue communicating with you via the eJournal and the Center’s other outreach programs. Best Wishes, Richard D. Downie, Ph. D.

[ Back ] Avances y límites de la participación de México en la seguridad hemisférica a inicios del Siglo XXI Raúl Benítez Manaut y Georgina Sánchez Investigador, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Asesora independiente En los albores del nuevo siglo se impone la revisión de la funcionalidad de las instituciones internacionales, hasta ahora asentadas sobre las dinámicas y equilibrios internacionales del siglo pasado. Entre otros, la búsqueda de una nueva seguridad hemisférica se replanteó en el año 2003, con la realización de la Conferencia Especial sobre Seguridad de la OEA, frente a las nuevas amenazas a la seguridad mundial. Los nuevos cánones de seguridad hemisférica tienen que responder a desafíos diferentes, pero, ¿Es concebible un esquema de seguridad donde quepan todos los intereses hemisféricos? ¿Puede un nuevo esquema de seguridad hemisférica responder a los desafíos de seguridad de México? ¿Es previsible que México adopte un nuevo papel activo y comprometido en la seguridad internacional? I. Condicionantes de la seguridad hemisférica: entre las nuevas amenazas y los viejos esquemas. El 11 de septiembre del 2001 implicó la toma de conciencia internacional del nuevo tipo de amenazas que desde hacía varios años venían presentándose al mundo. En efecto, el terrorismo poco tenía de novedoso,1 había golpeado anteriormente los intereses norteamericanos dentro y fuera de Estados Unidos y al menos en los gobiernos y las sociedades europeas, el temor a un ataque terrorista era una realidad tangible que podía repetirse en cualquier momento. Lo que sacudió a Estados Unidos y a la opinión internacional fue la magnitud, la sorpresa, la estrategia y el impacto psicológico de los ataques.

June-July 1979 Provisional A_enda Item 23 CE82/17 (Eng.) 17 May 1979 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH SITUATION REPORT ON PAHO'S DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM IN THE AMERICAS Introduction The Americas are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters. Major earthquakes have occurred in Peru (1970), Nicaragua (1972), and Guatemala (1976). Volcanic activities caused evacuation of large numbers of people in Guadeloupe (1975-1976) and St. Vincent (1979). Hurricanes strike in the Caribbean and along the Atlantic Coast of Central America periodically (for example, hurricane Fifi, Honduras, 1974). Floods, on many occasions, have severely affected the economic and social develop- ment and the provision of primary health care of many countries in the Region (Paraguay, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Jamaica, etc.). Objectives of the Program Several resolutions on relief assistance have been adopted by the Governing Bodies of WHO and PAHO. 1 In the last three years, increasing emphasis has been placed by the Directing Council of the Pan American Health Organization on technical cooperation in emergency preparedness before disasters actually strike. 2 In October 1976 the Directing Council of PAHO, ,anxious that the internatior_l assistance given to countries affected by natural disasters should be better coordinated, rational, and more effective," requested that the Director

    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 45(2): 316-337, ]989 COMPARISON OF MYODOCOPID OSTRACODES IN TWO ZONES OF THE BELIZE BARRIER REEF NEAR CARRIE BOW CAY WITH CHANGES IN DISTRIBUTION 1978-1981 Anne Constant Cohen ABSTRACT The number of myodocopid species (51) in the vicinity of Carrie Bow Cay, Belize, is the highest yet reported for any geographic area of similar size. Replicate sampling in two different sand-bottomed zones, a shallow (1.5 m) lagoon site and a deeper (18-30 m) fore-reef site, from 1978-1981, shows that myodocopid species and families differed between the zones, and that species and family composition varied from year to year, possibly due to disturbance by and recovery from a hurricane. Myodocopids were less abundant, but species diversity greater and yearly changes much smaller in the deeper, less disturbed fore-reef site than in the shallower lagoon site which is subject to greater storm disturbance. Some changes in species and family abundance following a storm may be related to differences in life-history strategies. With one exception (Kornicker, 1958), previous collections ofmyodocopids on coral reefs have consisted of descriptions of a few species and/or have been from single samples made in each of a relatively few locations (Poulsen, 1962; 1965; Hartmann, 1964; Kornicker and King, 1965; Hall, 1985). Kornicker (1958) dis- cussed the systematics and distribution of myodocopids (21 species) on the Ba- hama Bank near Bimini, an island in the northern part of the range of Caribbean coral reefs and with reefs less developed than on the barrier reef off Belize.
