Evan EIlis - Latin America 2025 Part II: Dynamics Shaping the Region and the Response of its Security Forces
Dear Colleague:
As we move into 2025, I am proud to share the second of two “look at the region” essays. The first, which I just shared last week, looked at the large number of upcoming elections and other change events in 2025, and the dynamics shaping the region with some specific predictions. As a compliment, the present essay, originally published in Spanish by the Chilean Army War College journal “Ensayos Militares,” and republished in English by Indrastra as an eBook, examines the strategic landscape more specifically from a security perspective and looks at how the region’s armed forces are seeking to adapt to the new challenges.
The work is available for download HERE in ENGLISH:
