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. 410 0$aLatin American political, economic, and security issues. 606 $aTerrorism$zLatin America$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aNational security$zLatin America 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 606 $aTransnational crime$zLatin America 607 $aIran$xRelations$zLatin America 615 0$aTerrorism$xHistory 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aTransnational crime 676 $a355/.03308 702 $aBartenstein$b Jonathan 702 $aCarey$b Michelle 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155044303321 996 $aLatin America as a national security threat$92880294 997 $aUNINA
