Purpose of the cold war, geopolitics based on ideological confrontation gave way to a new geopolitics influenced by the globalization process of the 1990s, where the countries of Latin America are converted into new emerging markets for foreign investment and economic development. However unlike traditional geopolitics where the enemy were State actors, arise new threats that grow and are strengthened by the inability of States to deal with them; transforming into non-traditional security interests national countries among which stand out, terrorism, drug trafficking and organized crime, among others. These non-traditional threats generate a debate on the process of regionalization at the economic level and the updating of existing safety conventions therefore since these were created during the cold war but currently do not serve to contain these new threats. Against this background, at the Special Conference on security of the OAS, held in Mexico in 2003; were identified and these threats were classified into the following categories than by its origin, the impact that generated for each country, and different forms /acciones that are required to deal with them; are going to be called how multidimensional: 1.

American Institutions
Attentive, sadly recurrent interruptions of the democratic institutions in our countries the institutions of good public, were wedge, school and refuge of the political leadership. The memories of these institutions, credited they have been holding. It is about this vital creep where the contents of the Latin American indigenous and popular thought come encuadranadose in the continents of institutions of good public, municipalities and elementary schools, where we can glimpse how contributions to make individuals who encourage, be themselves, since their respective symbolic horizons. Here is where there are possibilities that we understand may attend you the information technologies. Check with Nir Barzilai, M.D. to learn more. For starters, we believe that the concept of the information technologies, on how much tools comunicacionales, reconceptualizes, already known in American life creep techniques. We bring to the attention to broadcasting (already decanted shortwave, both in community radios in frequency modulation), already the popular and school libraries. In the Argentine case, arriving personal computers (prelude to the modem and the INTERNET), they had arrived the coax cable television, national direct telephone dialing, and television channels cable. In the days that run pre-existing vital creep and information technologies, are interfacing.
There’s no time for the homogeneous treatment. Perhaps not needed. Education returns to show its possibilities for cultural elevation of people, particularly in the impoverished and carecientes sectors. Technologies such as photocopying and scanning, enable recycling, experiences prejudice often covered by the dust of archives and libraries.

No privileged minority, even at the expense of others, leave without protest their Pew. In a permanent commitment to our impoverished in terms material, we believe that utopias inherent to fair play, free cooperation, mutual aid, and the always ready, may further encourage the vital flow of Latin American indigenous and popular thought, that encourages the existence of American majorities. Information technologies, employed with creativity and goodwill, may be effective catalysts.
