Description 1 online resource ([4] pages) Series Colloquium brief Colloquium brief. Summary The conference focused on a national security challenge which has to this point been contained but is taking dramatically new and dangerous forms. The emergence of new criminal groups in Colombia, increased violence in Mexico, and the possible spread of these criminal activities to Cuba and other Caribbean islands, create new instabilities which could result in one or more strategic shocks, in an area which is both the backyard and soft underbelly of the United States. Even if this does not(occur, the growing violence and instability in Mexico and the Caribbean will clearly demand greater attention in the future. Until now, Mexico has been seen as simply a border problem Analysis CARIBBEAN ISLANDS TRANSINTERNATIONAL LONG TERM PLANS Notes Title from title screen (viewed on: June 6, 2011) Caption title Subject Drug traffic -- Mexico -- Congresses Drug traffic -- Colombia -- Congresses Drug traffic -- Caribbean Area -- Congresses Political stability -- Mexico -- Congresses Political stability -- Colombia -- Congresses Political stability -- Caribbean Area -- Congresses Organized crime -- Prevention -- Congresses National security -- United States.
