To my forever-beautiful wife, Carla, and my son Samir, both living here on earth, and to my children Andrea and Joshua, who are now living in Heaven. I also would like to express my gratitude to my father, Mario M. Goncalves, for planting the seeds of research in me while a child, and to my father-in-law, Don Fernando Davalos, for the many insightful discussions on foreign affairs.

To God be the glory!
