ix, [1], 134 p. Footnotes. Illustrations. Map. Acronyms and Abbreviations. Over the past two decades, the United States has spent billions of dollars and expended significant manpower in the Andes to stem the flow of illegal drugs northward; assist local security forces in the fight against drugs, terror, and insurgency; and promote free markets, human rights, and democratic consolidation. Yet the democracies of the Andean region---Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia---remain on the brink of collapse. The prospect of regional chaos poses a serious threat to the U.S. goal of achieving democracy, prosperity, and security in the hemisphere. From Wikipedia: "Daniel William Christman (born May 5, 1943) is a retired United States Army lieutenant general, former Superintendent of the United States Military Academy (1996 2001), and the current Senior Vice President for International Affairs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. A 1965 graduate of West Point, he went on to earn multiple post-graduate degrees and hold numerous commands during his army career. Christman served in highly visible and strategically important positions and four times was awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the nation's highest peacetime service award." Also from WIkipedia: "John G. Heimann was Comptroller of the Currency from 1977 to 1981. Heimann, an investment banker and former New York State Supervisor of Banking and Commissioner of Housing and Community Development, was appointed by President Jimmy Carter. During his term he also served as acting chairman of the FDIC and as first chairman of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council and acting chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Heimann was an active participant in the reform effort that lifted the limits on, and differentials between, the interest rates that different types of financial institutions could pay to attract deposits. He returned to investment banking in 1981, joining Warburg Paribas Becker-AG Becker Heimann also served as New York State Superintendent of Banks and Commissioner of Housing and Community Renewal, New York. His career in the private sector includes: a founding partner of Warburg Pincus.; Co-Chairman of Warburg Paribas Becker; and Chairman of the Global Financial Institutions Group of Merrill Lynch & Co. He serves as a Trustee of the Nasher Sculpture Center; Director of The American Ditchley Foundation; member of the Council on Foreign Relations; a member of the Group of Thirty; and a member of the Board of the Chatham House Foundation. He also served as a member of the Strategic Committee of France Tresor; was Co-Chairman of the 2020 Andean Commission, Council on Foreign Relations; and member of the International Capital Markets Advisory Commission of the New York Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Heimann is active as a Board Member of a number of non-profit organizations and serves on the Board of Directors of several corporations." Very good. Minor sticker residue on front cover.…
