    • نبذة مختصرة :
      In the first decades of the 20th century an international legal regime was established in order to control a category of drugs seen as dangerous for individual and public health as well for the moral and social orders. In the 1970s, the United States declared a "war on drugs", considering drug-trafficking a menace to its national security. Policy since then has reinforced repressive measures along US borders and has driven the involvement of militaries in the combat against drug-trafficking in Latin America. Despite the increase of illegal drug production and consumption, the militarized approach has been maintained, generating great violence and transborder conflicts. The article presents a brief political history of the militarization of policies on drug trafficking, highlighting their effects in Colombia, Mexico and Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • نبذة مختصرة :
      Nas primeiras décadas do século XX, foi construído um regime legal internacional voltado ao controle de drogas consideradas perigosas tanto à saúde individual e pública, quanto à ordemmoral e social. Nos anos 1970, os Estados Unidos declararam uma "guerra às drogas" quando passaram a considerar o narcotráfico como uma ameaça à sua soberania nacional.Apolítica sobre drogas, desde então, reforçou asmedidas repressivas nos EUA e manteve o apoio ao envolvimento de militares latino-americanos no combate ao tráfico de drogas. Apesar do aumento da produção e consumo de drogas, a abordagem militarizada tem sido mantida e reatualizada, gerando um considerável cenário de violência e de conflito transterritoriais. O artigo visa apresentar uma concisa história política da militarização do combate ao narcotráfico, destacando seus efeitos na Colômbia, México e Brasil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
