Ungoverned areas, Terrorism, United States of America, South America.Abstract
The diffuse nature of transnational threats and lack of effectiveness of some states in dealing with internal problems exponentially increase actions by world powers. This discussion covers the ungoverned areas, which have gained wide importance in discussions on international security, and have particularly impacted the foreign policy exercised by the U.S. in the twenty-first century. From these assumptions it is proposed to discuss, having the South American continent as the stage, the concept of ungoverned areas, their treatment by the U.S. State Department and USAID, summarize the locations at risk appointed by certain centers of strategic thinking (Think Tanks) and compare the locations benefited by USAID and the issue of low regional governance.Downloads
