Randallnjmackie@ucalgary.caThe papers and presentations in this volume were part of an<br />international conference on Latin American and Caribbean basin security<br />issues hosted by the Latin American Research Centre at the University of<br />Calgary in May, 2013. Focusing on Canadian security policies in the region,<br />the conference went beyond traditional notions of security and focused<br />on a range of human security issues: the impact of insecurity on violence<br />against women, the role of illegal armed groups, organized crime, guerrilla<br />insurgencies, youth gangs, and the impact which armed conflict has on the<br />physical environment. The findings of this conference suggest that, with<br />increased private sector investment in the region combined, growing trade<br />ties have implications for the image of Canada in the region and necessitate<br />a close and effective working relationship between government and<br />the private sector to ensure that international standards pertaining to the<br />environment and human rights are observed.2013-12-23T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c)
