Small Wars and Insurgencies

 Abstract: While maintaining minimal deterrence capabilities, South America’s has not experienced inter-state warfare in almost three decades. Internal security challenges exist, while militaries are involved in various other missions, including humanitarian assistance, search-and-rescue, combating wildfires, and combating environmental crimes like illegal fishing and illegal mining. This analysis will discuss the evolving role of South American insurgencies vis-à-vis small wars, insurgencies, and other combat and non-combat missions by focusing on regional air fleets. The types of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft Air Forces, Armies, and Navies are purchasing (or domestically manufacturing) explain what kinds of missions and threats armed services are focused on today and tomorrow’s priorities. Small case studies of helicopter and combat warplane fleets across South American militaries will help us understand what regional services spend their often-limited funds on. Moreover, we will address how regional air fleets may be composed a decade from now, by 2034, considering regional geopolitics, missions, and priorities (including environmental protection). Confidence-building mechanisms and the influence, or lack thereof, of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on recent acquisition programs and strategies will provide a more complete analysis.

There are flashpoints to watch as Argentina navigates its future between the polar attractions of Washington and Beijing, including future defense deals and a deep space facility.

WASHINGTON — The surprise decision by Argentina to seek a rare partner status with NATO, coupled with Buenos Aires’s recent choice of Dutch F-16s for its next fighter fleet over Chinese rivals, appears to have handed the West some clear victories in a tug of war with Beijing over influence in the South American nation. But analysts told Breaking Defense the game is long, and China has many cards — especially economic and commercial ones — still in hand.

Since the Russian invasion in 2022, Japan has emerged as a steadfast supporter of Ukraine. The notoriously immigration-resistant Japan has so far accepted 2,500 Ukrainian refugees. In recognition that Ukraine will face a daunting reconstruction process, Japanese and Ukrainian government and business officials gathered for the “Japan-Ukraine Conference for Promotion of Economic Growth and Reconstruction” in February this year. As part of the gathering, 56 cooperation agreements were signed to develop infrastructure, target critical economic sectors for growth, and expand overall trade.

Astana’s multipronged strategy must evolve into what I label a multivector foreign policy 2.0. Multivectorism already promotes deep relations with various players.

Бұл өте өзекті тақырып. Орталық Азия елдері су тапшылығы, экологиялық проблемалар секілді көптеген мәселелерді жалғыз шеше алмайды. Президент Тоқаев былтыр күзде, егер Қазақстан су мәселесін шешпесе, 2050 жылға қарай құрғақшылықтан зардап шегетінін айтқан. Орта Азия елдерінің біртұтас даму жолы олардың интеграциялануында.

Alejandro Sanchez, expert: 
Kazakhstan has always been a supporter of creating new  initiatives that unite all the countries of 
Central Asia, and also supported Transcaspian integration. This is a very relevant topic. 
Central Asian countries cannot solve many problems alone, such as water shortages and 
environmental problems. Last fall, President Tokayev said that if Kazakhstan does not solve the 
water problem, it will suffer from drought by 2050. The unified development path of the Central 
Asian countries is their integration.

India is very much a geopolitical underdog in the Argentinian competition, as it is up against both the US and China. 

WASHINGTON — The young government of President Javier Milei is still working through its options for what fighter jet Argentina’s air force will be equipped with, but one contender is making an open push for the new government: India and its Tejas multirole fighter.

On Feb. 6, India’s ambassador to Argentina and Uruguay, Dinesh Bhatia, met with Air Force Brigadier Mayor Fernando Luis Mengo, head of the service’s general staff, to discuss the proposal “for the Argentine acquisition of Tejas combat aircrafts [sic] & helicopters manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited,” according to a statement from the Indian embassy in Buenos Aires. The Tejas, domestically-produced in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), has yet to secure an export customer.

The United States, via US Southern Command and the US Coast Guard, and the armed forces of France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom – which have overseas territories across the Caribbean – are all present across Caribbean waters and are critical partners of regional defense forces.

Presentation: How can rare earths help Central Asia’s energy transition?

 

"How can rare earths help Central Asia’s energy transition?"

Atlantic Council

23 January 2024

Information: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/event/how-can-central-asia-help-break-chinas-rare-earth-dominance/

The development of many new technologies, particularly those crucial to the global energy transition, is dependent on rare earth elements (REEs), which has set off a global race to acquire them. With China holding a near monopoly on refining and mining REEs, assertive Chinese foreign policy has accelerated the West’s desire to diversify its REE supply chains. Central Asia is key to that diversification.

While Central Asia is a growing area of focus for the United States, evaluations of global REE endowments have continued to neglect the region. Proactive Western investment in the discovery and mining of Central Asia’s REEs is a crucial opportunity to diversify global REE supply chains and to support regional integration, sovereignty, and economic freedom among the Central Asian states.

A new report from the International Tax and Investment Center’s Energy, Growth, and Security Program, “Leveraging Central Asia’s Rare Earth Elements for Economic Growth,” analyzes the state of REEs development in Central Asia and the geopolitical opportunities for the region through maximizing the development and export of its rare earth deposits. Investment in the development of REEs can help increase economic growth in Central Asia and break China’s rare earth dominance, while producing components essential to the green energy transition.
