As this edition goes to press and distribution, security and defense officials in the Americas are preparing their principals for numerous regional and sub-regional executive events including the upcoming 11th Conference of the Defense Minis- ters of the Americas (CDMA) to be held in Arequipa, Peru. Accordingly, Volume 16 of the SDSR focuses on thematic issues that will likely be raised at these events, including the Conference: cooperative security efforts in the Americas, cyber security, the use of the military to combat transnational organized crime, and external actors in the Americas, among others. We begin this SDSR edition with an article from a group of authors in Argen- tina on cooperative security efforts in Latin America. The authors examine the numerous theoretical dimensions of the topic and the history of cooperative secu- rity in the region. They propose a bold reform to the system, one that emphasizes regional initiatives yet also extends responsibility for specific threats to experts. I trust our readers will find their recommendations on inter-American security cooperation illuminating. Lucas Fonseca and Tiago Delgado of Brazil scrutinize the cyber security challenges faced by many Latin American nations. The authors examine the OAS Strategy on Cyber Security and, in particular, the development of Computer Se- curity Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) in many nations. The authors contend that the capacity of government experts to keep up with the rapid evolution of information technology, inadequate or antiquated legislation on cyber security that is rapidly overcome by developments in the computer industry, and sufficient education of prosecutors and judges are challenges faced by most countries in the Americas. Next, Peterson Silva, a recent alumnus of the Perry Center, examines the 2008 Brazilian National Security Strategy. Silva provides a detailed analysis of the development of the national strategy and an assessment of its functions after five years. Our readers, especially those involved in developing modern defense strategies in a rapidly changing, multi-faceted security environment, might draw important lessons from Brazil’s experience. Perry Center Editor-in-Chief Pat Paterson and former Perry Center research as- sistant Cristy Blain of Colombia examine the risks of using the military in operations against transnational organized crime. Paterson teaches the human rights and rule of law course at the Perry Center and Blain has extensive experience on human rights issues from her studies in France, the United States, and Colombia. After a detailed theoretical discussion of the issues, they use the U.S. experience in Iraq from 2003 to 2008 to demonstrate the clear dangers of deploying the armed forces in support to civilian authorities without adequate education and the proper strategy. Volume 16 / 2014 5 The Perry Center’s Dr. Evan Ellis contributes the next article on China’s growing role in the Americas. Dr. Ellis, one of the United States’ leading authori- ties on China in Latin America, has published three books and scores of articles on the topic. His most recent analysis takes the readers deep into Chinese foreign relations in Latin America and provides an extraordinary level of detail. I am con- fident you will find his article stimulating and informative. The next chapter of the journal is a summary of Congressional testimony provided by General John Kelly of the U.S. Southern Command and General Chuck Jacoby of the U.S. Northern Command. Between the two of them, they have responsibility for, foremost, protecting the U.S. homeland and, secondly, coordinating security efforts on behalf of the U.S. with its partners in the Western Hemisphere. Their reports to Congress, blunt and candid, are excellent synopses of the multi-faceted forms of crime and threat that the U.S. and its partners face. The next item in SDSR 16 is drawn from the March 2014 Hemispheric Fo- rum conducted at the Perry Center on the topic of women in peace and security. Perry Center Professor Celina Realuyo hosted a panel of distinguished academic, diplomatic, and defense officials who spoke on the role of women in peace and se- curity. The prestigious panel included representatives of the diplomacy, defense, and development pillars of U.S. national security strategy. We conclude Security and Defense Studies Review 16 with two book re- views. Perry Center Assistant Editor Patricia Kehoe provides an in-depth book review on Narcoland, a recent publication by Mexican author Anabel Hernández, who reports from the frontlines of the war against organized crime in Mexico. Hernández’s story is a gripping account of the last few years of the drug war in her country, the risks she took to research the book, and the collusion of government officials with traffickers. An eye-opening read. Perry Center Professor Kevin Newmeyer provides the second

  • On Behalf of the National Council of Asian Pacific
    April 16, 2020 Dear Member of Congress: On behalf of the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA), the Democracy Initiative, and the undersigned organizations, we are writing to denounce the continued increase in racist attacks and discrimination against the Asian American community, and to express our support for H.Res. 908, introduced by Representative Grace Meng (D-NY-6) and its Senate companion to be introduced by Senators Kamala Harris (D-CA), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI); both of which condemn all forms of anti-Asian sentiment related to COVID- 19. Hate and bigotry are not consistent with realizing the promise of American democracy where all of us have an equal voice. COVID-19 is a public health crisis that has fundamentally disrupted our way of life and is saddling our most vulnerable individuals and communities with significant new burdens. Our collective focus must be on overcoming this challenge and caring for one another. As the number of COVID-19 cases have increased, so too have attacks targeting Asian Americans. On March 14th, the New York Post published an article of a Chinese American father walking his son to the bus stop and was verbally and physically attacked by an angry stranger.1 Just days later in Texas, a Burmese man and his son were stabbed at a local Sam’s Club by a young man who attacked them because of their race.2 As these attacks have continued surging, we are concerned that as our country continues to struggle to overcome COVID-19, anxiety, frustration and fear will intensify before it subsides.

  • A Historical and Comparative Survey of the Chinese Presence in the Latin American and Caribbean Region, with a Focus on the Anglophone Caribbean
    Journal of Chinese Overseas 13 (2017) 206-243 brill.com/jco A Historical and Comparative Survey of the Chinese Presence in the Latin American and Caribbean Region, with a Focus on the Anglophone Caribbean 拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的华人历史和比较研究 — 以英语加勒比地区为例 Cecilia A. Green 塞西莉娅·安妮·格林 Associate Professor, Department of Sociology The Maxwell School, Syracuse University [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I first broadly map the historical patterns of Chinese presence in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region, as a way of distinguishing the primary locations and forms of incorporation and settlement. This historical context provides a baseline from which to examine patterns of the new post-1980s instantiations of Chinese pres- ence in the wider LAC region and Central America and Caribbean (CAC) sub-region, with particular reference to the English-speaking Caribbean, and, even more specifi- cally, the Eastern Caribbean group of islands with no historical antecedent of an older Chinese diaspora. To highlight this specificity, I include findings from preliminary research conducted in several of these islands, and examine some of the key emerg- ing configurations and complications of the new dual presence in the Anglophone Caribbean of the Chinese state and private entrepreneurial immigrant. * Cecilia A. Green is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at The Maxwell School, Syracuse University. She writes on race/class/gender/sexuality in Anglophone Caribbean history, as well as on the political economy of globalization and postcolonialism, particularly in the Caribbean. She has been doing research on aspects of the “new Chinese presence in the Eastern Caribbean” since 2012, in collaboration with graduate student, Yan Liu, who is currently writing a doctoral dissertation on a related topic under her supervision.

ABSTRACT This qualitative study explores how Chinese American women, as American- born children of new Chinese immigrants, have perceived and interpreted who they are, and how they become who they are while adapting to American society and negotiating with the interplay of race, ethnicity, class, and gender. Drawing on in- depth interviews with twenty-seven Chinese American women from two universities located on the East Coast, I argue that their segmented assimilation processes involving ongoing negotiations between maintaining ties with their ethnic and cultural backgrounds and selective integration into the mainstream of the society, which, to some extent, are subject to and predetermined by their parents‘ pre- and post- migration conditions. At the same time, my participants also struggled with how their self-defined ethnic identity intertwined with a socially constructed racial identity. My data show multiple settlement patterns among new Chinese immigrants, including traditional ethnic enclaves, and suburban white areas as well as a diverse class composition of college-educated professionals, small business owners, and working-class laborers.

  • Asian American Mental Health: a Post-September 11Th Needs Assessment
    Asian American Mental Health: A Post-September 11th Needs Assessment Asian American Federation of New York September 2003 Copyright © 2003 by Asian American Federation of New York Support for this publication was provided by two grants from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey Asian American Mental Health: A Post-September 11th Needs Assessment Foreword The second anniversary of September 11th finds New York City further along in its recovery from the events of that date, poised in a stage of both memory and renewal. The last two years have given our city, our nation and the world an opportunity to absorb and reflect upon the tragedy’s myriad meanings and its societal and global consequences. Cadences of renewal resonate externally, with the progression of plans for rebuilding the World Trade Center site, efforts by various constituencies to revitalize the crippled regional economy, and restoration of other physical resources lost in the disaster’s wake. However, for individuals directly affected by the loss of a loved one or other emotionally traumatic experiences connected to September 11th, the personal recovery process can be obscured from the outside. The painful processes of grieving over a loss and rebuilding or moving on with a life that was instantly and deeply transformed can be an isolated experience – one that is not easily comprehended by or shared with others. For Asian Americans, this is especially true. As described in this report, in times of distress, Asian cultural values of self-reliance, reservation and non-expression typically prompt individuals to avoid seeking assistance in dealing with emotional issues.
