Abstract
AbstractHuman security has become a component of the international foreign policy coherence consensus, together with political liberalization and neoliberal economic policy. Although the human security paradigm, concerned as it is with fragile states and internal conflict, has had little currency for Latin America as compared to Africa, it is being applied to Haiti. The alternative paradigm for understanding Latin America since the end of the Cold War has been that of democratic transition, but the distance between the two may not be as great as often assumed: both paradigms see increasing social exclusion as signalling an alarm in the region. In the context of the "war on terror," human security is increasingly redefined in practice as part of a broader hard security agenda; this is illustrated by Canada's international policy toward Haiti, which is exemplary of international policy coherence. Although Haiti is currently the only country in the hemisphere treated according to a human security policy lens, the global "borderlands" that constitute the objects of human security interventions are all cases where democratic transition has failed and social conflict is acute. Does this signal a possible future for the stalled or conflictive "transitions" of Latin America?RésuméLa sécurité humaine est devenue une composante du consensus international sur la cohérence de la politique extérieure, avec entre autres composantes la libéralisation politique et les réformes économiques néolibérales. Bien que le paradigme de la sécurité humaine, dont les préoccupations majeures sont les États fragiles et les conflits internes, soit d'usage peu courant en Amérique latine, contrairement à l'Afrique, on l'applique actuellement à Haïti. Le paradigme dominant pour interpréter la réalité latino-américaine depuis la fin de la Guerre froide est plutôt celui de la transition démocratique; cependant, le fossé entre ces deux paradigmes n'est peut-être pas aussi large qu'il n'apparaît, car les deux signalent l'exclusion sociale croissante dans la région comme indicateur de risque. Dans le contexte de la 'guerre contre la terreur', la sécurité humaine est progressivement redéfinie dans le cadre d'une approche sécuritaire 'dure' plus large: ceci est illustré par la politique canadienne envers Haïti comme partie prenante de l'agenda international de cohérence. Malgré le fait qu'Haïti soit actuellement le seul cas déclaré de sécurité humaine dans l'hémisphère, les « zones frontières » de la globalisation que sont les lieux d'intervention au nom de la sécurité humaine sont toutes des transitions démocratiques manquées connaissant une tension sociale aigue. Ceci signale-t-il un scénario d'avenir possible pour les États latino-américains de transition inachevée ou conflictuelle?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
