LAS 330 - The Drug War, Narco-Trafficking & Human Rights in the Americas (3 cr.)

An examination of the drug trade in the Americas from production and trafficking to dealing, consumption, violence and corruption. Students will consider the drug trafficking and the War on Drugs from historical, comparative and contemporary angles, and the way that international drug policy has shaped drug trade and civil society. In addition to political policy, students will analyze the effect that the Drug War has had on human rights, migration, trade, poverty, political power, militarization and the environment. As many Latin American states have begun to reject the War on Drugs, countries and communities have reimagined Drug Policy in the Americas, and students will evaluate the potential of new strategies of reducing drug production, trafficking and use in North, Central and South America.
