Reconceptualizing Security in the Americas in the Twenty-First
Century illustrates the various security concerns in the Americas
in the twenty-first century. It presents the work of a number of
prolific scholars and analysts in the region. The book offers new
theoretical and analytical perspectives. Within the Americas, we
find a number of important issues security issues. Most important
are the threats that supersede borders: drug trafficking,
migration, health, and environmental. These threats change our
understanding of security and the state and regional process of
neutralizing or correcting these threats. This volume evaluates
these threats within contemporary security discourse.
The war on drugs has failed, but consensus in the international
drug policy debate on the way forward is missing. Amidst this
moment of uncertainty, militarised lenses on the global illicit
drug problem continue to neglect the complexity of the causes and
consequences that this war is intended to defend or defeat.
Challenging conventional thinking in defence and security sectors,
Transforming the War on Drugs constitutes the first comprehensive
and systematic effort to theoretically, conceptually, and
empirically investigate the impacts of the war on drugs. The
contributors trace the consequences of the war on drugs across
vulnerable regions, including South America and Central America,
West Africa, the Middle East and the Golden Crescent, the Golden
Triangle, and Russia. It demonstrates that these consequences are
'glocal'. The war's local impacts on human rights, security,
development, and public health are interdependent with
transnational illicit flows. The book further reveals how these
impacts have influenced the positions of governments across these
regions, with significant ramifications for the international drug
control regime. Crucially, it shows that, at a time when global
order is in flux, critically evaluating the regime's securitisation
through the war on drugs provides key insights into other global
governance realms.
This book illustrates the plethora of security concerns of the
Americas in the 21st century. It presents the work of a number of

book provides one of the only expansive applications of theory to a
wide geographical area. It offers new perspectives and urges
readers to take theory seriously through use. Within the Americas,
we find a number of important issues that compose of this
geographic security complex. Most important are the threats that
supersede borders: drug trafficking, migration, health, and
environment. These threats change our understanding of security and
the state and region process of neutralizing or correcting these
threats. This volume evaluates these threats within contemporary
security discourse.
