	History
		The Inter-American Defense Board has proved to be a valuable agency for the exchange of views, the study of problems and the formulation of recommendations relating to the defense of the Hemisphere, and for the promotion of close collaboration on the part of the military, naval and air forces of the American Republics.
		The activities of the Inter-American Defense Board may be classified in three categories: those deriving from the function of preparing a legitimate defense against eventual aggressions from outside the hemisphere and the activities of military cooperation advisory services; activities requested by organs of the Organization, and those which are referred to it by individual states.
		The Board is composed of four main organs: the Council of Delegates, the Staff, the Secretariat, and the Inter-American Defense College.

	Overcoming the Power Gap: Reorienting the Inter-American System for Hemispheric Security
		The original mission statement of the Inter-American Defense Board is derived from Resolution XXXIV of the Ninth International Conference of American Republics held in 1948 in Bogotá.
		The Board's purpose was primarily political, rather than purely military; it provided the Latin American and Caribbean nations a sense of participation in hemispheric defense planning, but the lion's share of actual defense activity was absorbed by the United States.
		Nonetheless, agreements were made on commercial issues, the establishment of a Governing Board for the Bureau, the establishment of an International Sanitary Bureau in Washington (the first of the "Specialized Organizations" of the Inter-American System) and a commitment to a third conference to be held within five years.

	The Inter-American System and Post-Cold War Changes: Kant is the Key - Storming Media
		After so many years of neglect and abuse, the Organization of American States (OAS) and Inter-American Defense Board (IADB) are entering into a new era of hemispheric cooperation where democracy promotion has replaced Cold War paradigms.
		Graham Allison's bureaucratic politics approach argues that the various institutions of the Inter-American System will change very little in this new era because of institutional resistance to change.
		The realist approach argues that the U.S. has simply dropped its Cold War interests for democracy promotion, human rights, and hemispheric cooperation.

	The Role of the Inter-American Defense Board within the New World Order - Storming Media
		These attempts were consistently resisted by the Latin American nations because of the historic opposition to a militarized Organization of American States and fear of U.S. intervention.
		During that time attempts were made by the Board to achieve a more significant operational role and to institutionalize itself within the Organization of American States.
		This paper shows that the Board has a role to play in facilitating security cooperation and economic development and is reorienting its thinking and activities to tackle the new threats and problems in the hemisphere.
