About the Journal
The Inter-American Defense College encourages critical thinking through a frank and open debate on regional security and defense problems, challenges, and threats. Our university campus provides a space for exchanging knowledge and experiences among academics, experts, officials, and high-ranking civilians, who address current issues from a hemispheric perspective.
Hemisferio was created to encourage critical analysis. Every year, our academic journal publishes works and research by our alumni, professors, and colleagues from other institutions, thus contributing to the reflection on the security and defense issues that most concern our region.
Hemisferio, the Journal of the IADC, is an open-access publication, meaning that all content is freely available to users and institutions without charge. Readers can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles and use them for any other lawful purpose without requiring prior permission from the publisher or the authors. This aligns with the principles outlined in the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition of open access, ensuring unrestricted access to academic knowledge.
