@article {63296, title = {Boundary Disputes in Latin America}, year = {2003}, note = {}, month = {Aug 1, 2003}, abstract = {Since the start of 2000, five Latin American boundary disputes between neigboring states have resulted in the use of force, and two others in its deployment. These incidents involved ten of the nineteen independent countries of South and Central America. In 1995, Ecuador and Peru went to war, resulting in more than a thousand deaths and injuries and significant economic loss. And yet, by international standards the Americas were comparatively free from interstate war during the twentieth century. Latin Americans for the most part do not fear aggression from their neighbors. They do not expect their countries to go to war with one another. Published in Peaceworks no. 50 (August 2003): 42.
