The Nazca Booby is one of the three members of the gannet-like Sulidae family living in Galapagos. They nest on the ground, laying one or two eggs depending on the season and conditions. Dependent on marine species for food, their population varies enormously with climatic fluctuations and events such as the El Niño phenomenon forecast for 2009–2010 that may drastically cut their numbers.

  • Arms-R-Us: South America Goes Shopping a WOLA Report on South American Defense Expenditures
    Arms-R-Us: South America Goes Shopping A WOLA Report on South American Defense Expenditures For many years national defense budgets remained virtually unchanged in South America, but that seems to be changing quickly. Reports are surfacing of significant new arms purchases by Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia, among others—most of whom are buying from the US, Russia, France and Brazil. Whether or not you call it an arms race, the increase is substantial; “in 2008 the 12 South American countries together channeled more than $50 billion into military expenditures, about 30 percent more than in 2007.”1 This background paper will address who is in the market and for what—both buyers and sellers of weapons—and the context in which these transactions are taking place. This is by no means an exhaustive report. Unfortunately, information on South America’s arms purchases is difficult to find and even more difficult to verify. More information is available on some countries than others, and the information that does exist is often vague. Many of the details about defense spending are not coming from governments or other official sources, but rather from a variety of media outlets and analysts. This is indicative of a related problem: a lack of transparency and diplomatic communication. It is possible that many of the agreements for loans and arms purchases that the press reports may not be completed. But without official public information, these reports are often the first indicators of what is taking place. Since a significant change appears to be underway, this article reflects upon what has been reported from official and unofficial sources and the disconcerting security environment in which countries feel compelled to buy arms.

The PRC’s naval modernisation intersects with the EU’s foreign and security policy interests in five main areas: the international Law of the Sea; the risks for Europe of being dragged into an Asian maritime conflict and the safety of European trade with Asian partners; Europe’s competitiveness in international markets for naval military systems; the potential for maritime security cooperation against non-traditional threats; and finally, the arms embargo issue and the question of naval technology transfers to China.
