Controlling Latin American Conflicts
Westview Replica Editions
The concept of Westview Replica Editions is a response to the continuing crisis in academic and informational publishing. Library budgets for books have been severely curtailed. Ever larger portions of general library budgets are being diverted from the purchase of books and used for data banks, computers, micromedia, and other methods of information retrieval. Inter-library loan structures further reduce the edition sizes required to satisfy the needs of the scholarly community. Economic pressures on the university presses and the few private scholarly publishing companies have severely limited the capacity of the industry to properly serve the academic and research communities. As a result, many manuscripts dealing with important subjects, often representing the highest level of scholarship, are no longer economically viable publishing projects--or, if accepted for publication, are typically subject to lead times ranging from.one to three years.
Westview Replica Editions are our practical solution to the problem. We accept a manuscript in camera-ready form, typed according to our specifications, and move it immediately into the production process. As always, the selection criteria include the importance of the subject, the works contribution to scholarship, and its insight, originality of thought, and excellence of exposition. The responsibility for editing and proof-reading lies with the author or sponsoring institution. We prepare chapter headings and display pages, file for copyright, and obtain Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data. A detailed manual contains simple instructions for preparing the final typescript, and our editorial staff is always available to answer questions.
The end result is a book printed on acid-free paper and bound in sturdy library-quality soft covers. We manufacture these books ourselves using equipment that does not require a lengthy make-ready process and that allows us to publish first editions of 300 to 600 copies and to reprint even smaller quantities as needed. Thus, we can produce Replica Editions quickly and can keep even very specialized books in print as long as there is a demand for them.
About the Book and Editors
Controlling Latin American Conflicts: Ten Approaches
edited by Michael A. Morris and Victor Milln
Latin America remains a turbulent region, characterized by conflict and increased militarization, despite the existence of regional juridical mechanisms for controlling disputes. In this book, scholars from both Latin and North America collaborate in presenting ten original approaches to containing and resolving conflict in the region. Stressing the need to closely link contemporary approaches to conflict management with the Latin American legalistic tradition, they examine a broad scope of mechanisms ranging from confidence-building measures to arms control agreements. This book is the first systematic attempt to survey arms control and to generate approaches for controlling conflicts in Latin America.
Michael A. Morris, associate professor of political science at Clemson University, South Carolina, is the author of International Politics and the Sea: The Case of Brazil (Westview, 1979). Victor Milln is a researcher with the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in Sweden.

Introduction
Michael A. Morris and Victor Milln
An upsurge in conflicts has occurred during the last decade in the entire Third World and in Latin America in particular. Since the beginning of the 1980s between 60 and 80 armed conflicts have taken place in the Third World, of a total of about 350 since 1945. Latin America, too, has become increasingly conflict-prone. Recent examples include the 1982 Argentine-British war over the Falklands/Malvinas, the armed clashes between Peru and Ecuador in 1981 and the beginning of 1983, and on-going armed conflict between Honduras and Nicaragua.
