Bribes, Bullets, and Intimidation is the first book to examine
drug trafficking through Central America and the efforts of foreign
and domestic law enforcement officials to counter it. Drawing on
interviews, legal cases, and an array of Central American sources,
Julie Bunck and Michael Fowler track the changing routes, methods,
and networks involved, while comparing the evolution and
consequences of the drug trade through Belize, Costa Rica,
Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama over a span of more than three
decades. Bunck and Fowler argue that while certain similar factors
have been present in each of the Central American states, the
distinctions among these countries have been equally important in
determining the speed with which extensive drug trafficking has
taken hold, the manner in which it has evolved, the amounts of
different drugs that have been transshipped, and the effectiveness
of antidrug efforts.
