Peter DeShazo, director of the CSIS Americas Program, was quoted by USA Today, “Analysis: War Not Likely in South America Crisis."
Yet the outcome of South America's most serious military crisis in many years, which intensified this week when Chávez threatened war with neighboring Colombia, may ultimately be determined by the whims of the often volatile Venezuelan president.
Full-scale war between Venezuela and Colombia still seems unlikely because of $5 billion in annual trade and a history of warm relations between the countries, says Peter DeShazo, director of the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a private, tax-exempt institution focusing on international public policy issues. Its research is nonpartisan and nonproprietary.
