Trotz aller politischen Versuche, den kolumbianischen Friedensprozess und die inneren Verwerfungen in Venezuela voneinander zu isolieren, deuten viele Anzeichen darauf hin, dass sich beide Entwicklungen zunehmend verknüpfen. Krisenkonstellationen eines prekären Friedens in Kolumbien und einer autoritären Erstarrung in Venezuela drohen ineinander überzugehen. Es gibt die begründete Sorge, dass dadurch neue Gewaltdynamiken entstehen. Die beiden Nachbarländer in den Anden sind durch ideologische Konfrontation, Grenzkonflikte, illegale Gewaltakteure, Migrationsströme, Drogenökonomie und wirtschaftlichen Austausch so eng miteinander verbunden, dass sich die einzelnen Probleme sowohl innerhalb der beiden Länder als auch grenzüberschreitend kaum mehr voneinander trennen lassen. Dabei werden die Friedensbemühungen in Kolumbien durch die politische und wirtschaftliche Krise in Venezuela erheblich beeinträchtigt. Um nachhaltigen Schaden zu vermeiden, sind integrale Lösungen gefragt. Gestützt werden müssten sie nicht nur von den beiden Staaten selbst, sondern auch von der internationalen Gemeinschaft.

Aus sowjetischer Sicht

"This book uses a multidisciplinary approach to examine the ongoing conflict in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, which has killed thousands and displaced a million people since 2017. The book investigates how the conflict developed, the regional and international responses, and its wider implications. From a broad range of African perspectives, the book addresses issues related to the conflict including international humanitarian law, regional security, and terrorism. Part one assesses the regional security concerns of the conflict, the success of cross-border counter terrorism operations and its implications for the southern African region. Part two focuses on the conflict in relation to international humanitarian law. It discusses the Islamic State presence in the region, the trajectory and issues pertaining to sexual and gender-based violence, and the relationship between the conflict and the environment. Finally, part three examines regional and continental responses to the conflict; from the military intervention by the Southern African Development Community and Rwanda, to the perceived inaction of the African Union. The first comprehensive analysis of the conflict in Cabo Delgado, this book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of international humanitarian law, security, African politics, war and conflict studies, terrorism and human rights"--

The book considers the main arms exporting countries, including China, Russia, and the US, as well as several European states, and the policies each employs in deciding advanced weapons sales to key regions of the world. It examines whether such sales are inherently stabilising or de-stabilising regarding regional security. Regions reviewed in detail include the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific. Combat aircraft sales are a focus for the volume given both their practical and symbolic importance. The volume focuses on the behaviour and policies of the main arms exporting nations since the end of the Cold War, shifts in their arms export policies, and the tensions that can emerge within or between countries over proposed arms sales. It also considers the impact of countries that were previously only recipients of advanced weapons moving to develop their own defence industrial base.
