Civil-Military Relations
Latin America in Global Perspective
The fundamental purpose of this multivolume series is to broaden conceptual perspectives for the study of Latin America. This effort responds to a perception of need. Latin America cannot be understood in isolation from other parts of the world. This has always been so; it is especially true in the contemporary era.
Accordingly, the goal of this series is to demonstrate the desirability and the feasibility of analyzing Latin America in comparative perspective, in conjunction with other regions, and in global perspective, in the context of worldwide processes. A subsidiary purpose is to establish a bridge between Latin American area studies and mainstream social science disciplines, to the mutual benefit of both. Ultimately, the intent is to explore and emphasize intellectual challenges posed by dynamic changes within Latin America and in its relation to the international arena.
The present volume examines the relationship between regional integration schemes in the Americas and in the Pacific Rim, thus promoting the comparative analysis of Latin America and East Asia within a global perspective. The series thus far includes:
Civil-Military Relations: Building Democracy and Regional Security in Latin America, Southern Asia, and Central Europe, edited by David R. Mares;
Latin America in Comparative Perspective: New Approaches to Methods and Analysis, edited by Peter H. Smith;
EnGENDERing Wealth and Well-Being: Empowerment for Global Change, edited by Rae Lesser Blumberg, Cathy A. Rakowski, Irene Tinker, and Michael Monten;
Cooperation or Rivalry? Regional Integration in the Americas and the Pacific Rim, edited by Shoji Nishijima and Peter H. Smith;
Institutional Design in New Democracies: Eastern Europe and Latin America, edited by Arend Lijphart and Carlos H. Waisman; and
Latin American Environmental Policy in International Perspective, edited by Gordon J. MacDonald, Daniel L. Nielson, and Marc A. Stern.
This series results from a multiyear research program organized by the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies (CILAS) at the University of California, San Diego. Principal funding has come from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

I am grateful to multiple organizations for funding this book. The book began as part of the project Latin America in Comparative Perspective sponsored by the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies of the University of California, San Diego, and supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Additional start-up funding was provided by the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation of the University of California. The Pacific Rim Research Program of the University of California provided major funding for authors research and for a conference held at the University of California, San Diego, in November 1995.
As editor, I would like to thank my research assistant Risa Brooks, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego, for the time, energy, and intellectual resources that she contributed to the project. Many chapters, mine included, benefited from her attention. Patricia Rosas also deserves special thanks for tireless and exceptional editing; the coherence of the book is in no small measure due to her skill. Peter Smith, colleague and series editor, and two Westview Press editors, Barbara Ellington and Karl Yambert, provided encouragement through the editing process. I am also grateful to conference participants for stimulating comments and to chapter authors for working together.
I especially thank Alejandro, Gabriel, and Jane for accepting the intrusion of this project into our family life.
