New US doctrine of ‘effective sovereignty’ holds region to ‘duty’ of controlling its territories
The US has just replaced its already ageing definition of 'new' security threats to Latin America by a newer 'greatest threat to security in the region': the weakness of the state apparatus. This is to be met with a new 'rationale for hemispheric security cooperation', namely the concept of 'effective sovereignty': the states of the region are to be bound by a duty to exercise their authority throughout their territory.
