Altered States:

Security and Demilitarization in Central America

Central America has yet to gain full control of its armed forces. Militaries, where they exist, continue to exercise too much influence while enjoying impunity and outsized budgets. Meanwhile they continue their historically close relations with the United States government.

Yet none of the security threats facing Central America today, Altered States argues, requires a military response. In fact, the consolidation of peace and democracy depends on even deeper reductions in military structures -- and, where possible, their complete abolition.

Altered States builds this argument from an exhaustive survey of current military sizes and roles in Central Ameica, the entire range of threats to the region's security, the extent of current U.S. military assistance and linkages, and the building of collective-security guarantees.
