Unasur and its defence council move from talking to doing
Unasur, the South American union of nations, and the CSD, its defence council, are proving to be more than just another couple of talking shops. They have already started to deal in practicalities, such as the imminent presentation of the first ‘white-book’ on defence spending based on a common methodology — a first big step towards dispelling suspicions and anxieties that can fuel arms races. This is happening against a backdrop of very practical bilateral defence cooperation undertakings between the member countries.
