Arnson and Eric L. Olson1 n early May 2011, dozens of gunmen entered a farm in Guatemala’s Petén region, murdering and decapitating 27 people. Guatemalan Iauthorities as well as speculation in the press have blamed the Zetas, a violent Mexican drug trafficking cartel increasingly active in Guatemala and other parts of Central America2. Whether a vengeance killing following the murder of a presumed drug lord, or a struggle amongst the Zetas and Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel for the control of territory and smuggling routes, the massacre underscores the vulnerability of the civilian population in unsecured border areas between Mexico and Guatemala, where narcotics and human trafficking flourish. In response, the government of President Álvaro Colom declared a state of siege similar to the one declared from December 2010-February 2011 in the department of Alta Verapaz. This incident and others like it underscore the serious threat to democratic governance, human rights, and the rule of law posed by organized crime in Central America. The international community has begun to address the burgeoning crisis and commit significant resources to the fight against crime and violence; indeed, not since the Central American wars of the 1980s-1980s has the region commanded so much attention in the international arena. To better understand the nature, origins, and evolution of organized crime in Central America, and thereby contribute to the efforts of policy- makers and civil society to address it, the Latin American Program commissioned a series of case studies that looked at the countries of the so-called Northern Triangle—El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras— and at the broader regional context affecting national dynamics. Our interest was to understand more fully how organized crime has evolved in Central America, and to examine the links between organized crime and traffickers in Central America, Mexico and Colombia. What role does Central America play in the supply chain for illegal goods between | 1 | Cynthia J. Arnson and Eric L. Olson the Andes and the United States, and how have trafficking organizations from these areas related to one another over time? The growing presence and activities of organized crime groups in Central America has worsened an already alarming crisis of citizen security. In mid- 2010, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights reported that Latin America had the highest levels of youth violence in the world3. UN figures indicate that the rate of youth homicide in Latin America is more than double that of Africa, and 36 times the rate of developed countries4. An oft-referenced study by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) noted in 2009 that the seven countries of Central America—Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama—register the highest levels of non-political violence in the world; this observation has been echoed in statements by the U.S. Department of Defense5. The situation is most acute in the countries of the Northern Triangle6. In El Salvador alone, sixty-eight percent of homicide victims are between the ages of fifteen and thirty-four, and nine out of ten victims are male7. Countries such as Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Belize are also witnessing rising rates of insecurity associated with the increased presence of organized crime. A 2011 study published by the World Bank helps to put the numbers in context: although the combined population of Central America is equivalent to that of Spain, in 2006, Spain registered a total of 336 murders, while the corresponding number in Central America was 14,2578. Grim as they are, murder rates in Central America capture only the most extreme form of violent crime, which also includes assault, robbery, and domestic violence. Indeed, with respect to youth violence, the United Nations estimated in 2010 that for every fatality, there were 20-40 victims of non-fatal violence9. Drug Trafficking Has Exacerbated Already High Levels of Violence Crime and violence in Central America have multiple drivers, but none appears more responsible for the dramatic increase in violence than the illegal drug trade. The World Bank noted in 2011 that drug trafficking constitutes “the main single factor behind rising levels of violence in the | 2 | Introduction region,” indicating that crime rates are more than 100 percent higher in drug trafficking “hot spots” than in other areas. Crime and violence cause trauma and suffering for individuals as well as communities; they also have become a serious development issue, with “staggering economic costs” at the national level.10 The growing activity of organized crime groups in Central America, particularly drug traffickers, takes advantage of the region’s weak and fragile institutions as well as its geographical proximity to North American drug markets. While there is significant variation among the countries of the region, in most cases dysfunctional judicial systems have long fostered high levels of impunity and corruption. Processes of police reform and professionalization in the wake of peace settlements in Guatemala and El Salvador have been—to put it generously— incomplete. The region’s porous land borders and extensive coastlines are not adequately controlled, making them vulnerable to exploitation by criminal groups. Additional factors include high levels of youth unemployment,10 inadequate educational opportunities, particularly at the secondary level,12 and an abundance of illegal light as well as heavy-caliber weapons (reflecting inadequate programs of post-war disarmament and reintegration as well as illegal weapons flows from the United States). Criminal networks—including some originating during the era of internal armed conflict—have operated in Central America for decades (moving drugs, contraband, arms, and human beings). But

  • Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations
    Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs November 27, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30981 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Summary With five successive elected civilian governments, the Central American nation of Panama has made notable political and economic progress since the 1989 U.S. military intervention that ousted the regime of General Manuel Antonio Noriega from power. Current President Ricardo Martinelli of the center-right Democratic Change (CD) party was elected in May 2009, defeating the ruling center-left Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) in a landslide. Martinelli was inaugurated to a five-year term on July 1, 2009. Martinelli’s Alliance for Change coalition with the Panameñista Party (PP) also captured a majority of seats in Panama’s National Assembly. Panama’s service-based economy has been booming in recent years – with a growth rate of 7.6% in 2010 and 10.6% in 2011 – largely because of the ongoing Panama Canal expansion project, now slated for completion in early 2015. The CD’s coalition with the PP fell apart at the end of August 2011when President Martinelli sacked PP leader Juan Carlos Varela as Foreign Minister. Varela, however, retains his position as Vice President. Tensions between the CD and the PP had been growing throughout 2011, largely related to which party would head the coalition’s ticket for the 2014 presidential election. Despite the breakup of the coalition, the strength of the CD has grown significantly since 2009 because of defections from the PP and the PRD and it now has a majority on its own in the legislature.

  • Processo E Desenvolvimento Da Revolução Boliviana
    Processo e desenvolvimento da revolução boliviana Luiz Bernardo Pericás* Resumo: Este artigo trata das principais características da Revolução Boliviana de 1952, buscando localizar sua natureza, origens, motivações e as facetas singulares desse país dentro do contexto da América Latina naquele momento histórico. A Bolívia caracteriza-se por ser um país extremamente complexo, com uma história de constantes conflitos internos nas esferas político-sociais, onde a relação de classes, a consciência revolucionária, a clivagem socioeconômica, o caráter étnico de seu povo e a correlação de forças entre proletários, camponeses, governo e militares sempre demonstraram características singulares na América Latina e muitas vezes apresentaram-se, se não como condições, pelo menos como elementos catalizadores de revoltas e motivos para que fossem impulsionadas as mudanças necessárias em determinados períodos históricos. Esse processo que chegou ao cume em 1952, veio a se desenvolver nos anos que se seguiram aos episódios revolucionários. Para o politicólogo e sociólogo chileno Fernando Mires, ao contrário da Revolução Mexicana, que surgiu a partir da onipotência do Estado, a Revolução Boliviana surgiu por causa da fraqueza do poder estatal, delineando aos poucos, através de um longo processo de levantes populares contra um regime muitas vezes sem caráter definido, em reação a governos autoritários * Doutorando ou classistas. Em outras palavras, a Revolução Boliviana não foi algo em História espontâneo nem imediato, mas produto de anos de elaboração. É Econômica na USP e autor do claro que não havia um projeto revolucionário prévio aos eventos livro Che de 9 de abril de 1952, mas uma série de fatos, um emaranhado de Guevara e a luta revolu- causas, tornaram possível a realização do momentum radical cionária na Bolívia (1997).

  • United States V. Edgar Valdez- Villareal Plea Hearing - Factual Basis If This Case Went to Trial, the Government Expects That It Would Offer the Following Evidence
    United States v. Edgar Valdez- Villareal Plea Hearing - Factual Basis If this case went to trial, the government expects that it would offer the following evidence: 1. In May 2004 (the starting date of the conspiracy offenses charged in Counts One, Two, and Nine of the Indictment), Edgar Valdez-Villarreal was engaged in a partnership with co-defendant Carlos Monten1ayor based in Mexico that obtained cocaine fron1 Colombia, exported the cocaine to customers located in the United States, and received bulk shipments of United States currency from these customers. Among other cities, this partnership sent cocaine to customers in Atlanta, in the Northern District of Georgia, during the conspiracy period charged in the Indictment. 2. The government's evidence would show that Valdez's involvement in cocaine trafficking began much earlier. As early as 2000, VALDEZ began his drug trafficking as a m~rijuana distributor in Laredo, Texas, and he soon developed cocaine customers in New Orleans and Memphis. 3. Starting in approximately 2001, VALDEZ made com1ections with cocaine distributors in Memphis, Tennessee, and Mississippi, and began sending them shipments of 20 kilograms of cocaine every 3-4 weeks. VALDEZ was known to these customers as "Juedo," or "Mike." The quantities later increased to shipn1ents of 60-80 kilos, and ultimately to 150- 180 kilos per shipment. During this period, Valdez obtained his cocaine from distributors in the Laredo/Nuevo Laredo area. However, in 1 approxin1ately 2002-2003, the Gulf Cartel in Mexico pooled forces with its rival, the Zetas, to endeavor to control the drug trade in the lucrative Laredo corridor.

  • Centeredness As a Cultural and Grammatical Theme in Maya-Mam
    CENTEREDNESS AS A CULTURAL AND GRAMMATICAL THEME IN MAYA-MAM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Wesley M. Collins, B.S., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Examination Committee: Approved by Professor Donald Winford, Advisor Professor Scott Schwenter Advisor Professor Amy Zaharlick Department of Linguistics Copyright by Wesley Miller Collins 2005 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I look at selected Maya-Mam anthropological and linguistic data and suggest that they provide evidence that there exist overlapping cultural and grammatical themes that are salient to Mam speakers. The data used in this study were gathered largely via ethnographic methods based on participant observation over my twenty-five year relationship with the Mam people of Comitancillo, a town of 60,000 in Guatemala’s Western Highlands. For twelve of those years, my family and I lived among the Mam, participating with them in the cultural milieu of daily life. In order to help shed light on the general relationship between language and culture, I discuss the key Mayan cultural value of centeredness and I show how this value is a pervasive organizing principle in Mayan thought, cosmology, and daily living, a value called upon by the Mam in their daily lives to regulate and explain behavior. Indeed, I suggest that centeredness is a cultural theme, a recurring cultural value which supersedes social differences, and which is defined for cultural groups as a whole (England, 1978). I show how the Mam understanding of issues as disparate as homestead construction, the town central plaza, historical Mayan religious practice, Christian conversion, health concerns, the importance of the numbers two and four, the notions of agreement and forgiveness, child discipline, and moral stance are all instantiations of this basic underlying principle.
