"What's Happening in Ecuador" - February 7 at 2:30 EST

The Centre for Research in Latin America and the Caribbean presents:

 

 

 

 

What's Happening in Ecuador

The Origins and Dimensions of Violence

 

with Carlos Larrea – Universidad Andina, Quito – Ecuador

 

What are the underlying structural causes of the drug-trafficking violence that engulfed parts of Ecuador in early January? In which regions of Ecuador was/is the violence and the drug trade concentrated and why?

What are the global/external factors that promote the continued growth of narco-trafficking? Does the government's militarized strategy to combat gangs involved in narco-trafficking make sense?

Have such repressive policies worked elsewhere in Latin America or anywhere else? What are the alternative policies that might be pursued?
