Abstract

In recent years the United States' neighbor, Mexico, has suffered many negative effects from the ongoing war on drugs. Although there is plenty of news coverage about the horrors and casualties of the war, not many in the US are informed about the US government's role in effort to stamp out the illicit drug trade through military means. Nor do they know much about Mexican reactions to the US's anti-drug policy. My presentation will not only give an overview of this policy, but also present a range of views by Mexicans regarding this US-led war on drugs. This information can be a great way to inform others about what is going on right below our very own southern border.
