Although Latin America has not been the focal point in the war on terrorism, countries in the region have struggled with domestic terrorism for decades and international terrorist groups have at times used the region as a battleground to advance their causes. This book examines Latin America as a national security threat with a focus on Iran's increasing activities with Venezuela; drug-trafficking related violence in Mexico and Columbia; and Cuba's lack of cooperation in antiterrorism efforts.Latin American political, economic, and security issues.TerrorismLatin AmericaHistory21st centuryNational securityLatin AmericaNational securityUnited StatesTransnational crimeLatin AmericaIranRelationsLatin AmericaTerrorismHistoryNational securityNational securityTransnational crime355/.03308Bartenstein JonathanCarey MichelleMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155044303321Latin America as a national security threat2880294UNINA
