Since the mid-1980s subsequent US governments have promoted a
highly militarized and prohibitionist drug control approach in
Latin America. Despite this strategy the region has seen increasing
levels of homicide, displacement and violence. Why did the
militarization of U.S. drug war policies in Latin America begin and
why has it continued despite its inability to achieve the stated
targets? Are such policies simply intended to impose U.S. power or
have elites in Latin America internalized this agenda as their own?
Why did resistance to this approach emerge in the late-2000s and
does this represent a challenge to the prohibitionist agenda? In
this book William Aviles argues that if we are to understand and
explain the militarization of the drug war in Latin America a
'transnational grand strategy', developed and implemented by
networks of elites and state managers operating in a neoliberal,
globalized social structure of accumulation, must be considered and
examined.
