		<description><![CDATA[En un mundo utópico, América Latina dispondría de recursos económicos infinitos con los que diagnosticar y remediar la corrupción policial que afecta a tantos países de la región. Sin embargo, a raíz de restricciones presupuestarias, el tratamiento de este mal debe circunscribirse a los recursos económicos disponibles. Tres son las medidas básicas que deberán adoptar los países latinoamericanos contra la corrupción: apartar de su cargo a los funcionarios culpables de la cúpula policial, montar un mecanismo que controle el desempeño de los funcionarios inocentes y de los agentes incorporados en reemplazo de los culpables, y aumentar la remuneración de la totalidad del personal policial. De analizarse algunos ejemplos de intentos fallidos y parcialmente exitosos por exterminar la corrupción en México y Perú, es posible comenzar a justificar la necesidad de emprender estas tres acciones fundamentales.  Un problema no contemplado por las reformas policiales es la intimidación que sufren los agentes policiales y sus familias por parte de las organizaciones de narcotráfico. Si bien es preciso defender a los agentes ante estas amenazas, la seguridad de cada agente depende de la seguridad del país en su conjunto. La corrupción infecta a las fuerzas policiales en casi la totalidad del hemisferio: enquistado [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On November 21, the Peruvian capital, hosted the fifth China – Latin America Summit, in which for two days were discussed a roster of urgent topics involved in order to achieve further development in terms of commerce and trade between China (PRC) and Latin America.  The Summit was attended by over a thousand business leaders and public officials from the PRC and from all of the Latin American countries.  Since the world financial crisis of 2008, Chinese corporations have devoted special attention to diversify their investment potential throughout South America in particular. According to Mr. Zhang Wei, the Vice President of the Chinese Council of International Trade Promotion (CCPIT), in 2010 China and Latin America, reached record levels of USD 183 billion in inter-regional trade and commerce.  In the coming years, Chinese business hope to have a wider grasp and a more comprehensive investment expansion strategy in high production areas such as energy, infrastructure, mining and telecommunications.  It is believed that with the help of this year’s end gathering, Chinese business activists will reach a record level of their investments thrust, with growth pointed at an upwards of USD 22.7 billion.  It remains to be seen on what will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the Second Pacific Alliance Summit on December 4, 2011, held in Mérida, Mexico, the Heads of State of Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and Peru took a significant step towards the formation of what could turn out to be an unprecedented trading alliance, inspired by the July 28, 2011 Presidential Declaration of Lima . In its initial period, the coalition will consist of the aforementioned countries. However, the current members are encouraging additional Latin America countries to join once they meet the essential requirements, which are: the recognition of the validity of the rule of law and the respective constitutional orders, the separation of branches of government, and protection of and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Panama’s President Ricardo Martinelli participated in the summit as an observer, indicating the country’s interest in joining the trade alliance, although the Panamanian president would find it difficult to qualify as a hard-core democrat. According to Mexican President Felipe Calderón, the allied countries combined represent a population of 200 million, fifty percent of Latin America’s imports and exports, and over thirty-four percent of the region’s Gross National Product (GNP). In addition, the president mentioned that the association would surpass the trade volume of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an ideal world, Latin America would be able to identify endemic unlimited financial resources which its leaders could draw upon to combat the police corruption that afflicts so many of the region’s nations. However, given the region’s severe budgetary restrictions, any plans to alleviate this scourge must be within the countries&#8217; financial limits. There are three crucial steps that must be taken by Latin American countries in order to combat corruption: fire any offending top police officers, establish a system to monitor the performance standards of newly appointed and remaining senior police officials, and raise wages for all police personnel. Analyzing failed and semi-successful attempts to reduce corruption in Mexico and Peru could help to demonstrate the necessity for these three basic steps. The cartels’ violent intimidation of police officers and their families has remained a recurrent problem outside the scope of easily available police reforms. Although it is necessary that officers have more security from physical threat, such a goal is contingent upon security for the nation as a whole. Police forces and corruption often go hand-in-hand throughout the hemisphere. Deeply entrenched corruption pervades the region from the highest level of the police establishment down to the most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Crossover analyses between fictive works such as zombie films and TV series like Game of Thrones continue with the publication of major works like Theories of International Politics and Zombies. Most zombie-films and books deal with disasters appearing in the U.S. or Europe (with the book World War Z, being one of the few exceptions), but Latin America remains virgin territory for these kinds of analyses. Given the plethora of issues currently affecting the region, ranging from deficient health systems to a variety of narco-insurgent organizations, how would Latin America fare when the undead appears in that region? The publication of Theories of International Politics and Zombies by Daniel Drezner,[1] a highly regarded professor at Tufts University, is the first of what could become a long line of crossovers between academic research and fictional situations involving zombies. Surprisingly well-received, Drezner’s innovative public policy study discusses the repercussions of a zombie horde in international affairs; in his work, the author discusses how conservatives, idealists, realists and constructivists would combat masses of the undead attacking their countries. Drezner paraphrases former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s idea of being prepared for the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns. According to the former official, known [...]]]></description>
