Democracies at War Against Drugs
"In an era when violence in Latin America remains widespread, we still lack a sufficient understanding of military crime fighting in the region. Anais M. Passos's well written and richly detailed study helps fill the gap. This is an excellent study that deserves to be widely read and debated." -David Pion-Berlin, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Political Science, University of California, Riverside, USA This book provides an in-depth account of military operations against drug gangs and organizations in two of the biggest countries in Latin America: Brazil and Mexico. Recent studies on drug wars have detailed case studies on the war on drugs but do not focus on the role of the a...

Health Security in Indonesia and the Normalization of the Military’s Non-Defence Role
Like many countries, Indonesia’s armed forces (TNI) have been engaging in health security activities since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The pandemic has made TNI popular in society owing to its visible dedication to crisis response at the grassroots level. It is important to clarify how this became possible and the impact it has had from the perspective of civil-military relations. TNI’s widening and deepening involvement in health security is the product of the normalization of “military operations other than war” (MOOTW). The 2004 TNI law restricted non-defence missions and required that ad hoc arrangements to undertake such non-war emergency missions gain p...
Power and Illicit Drugs in the Global South
More than a hundred years have passed since the adoption of the first prohibitionist laws on drugs. Increasingly, the edifice of international drug control and laws is vacillating under pressures of reform. Scholarship on drugs history and policy has had a tendency to look at the issue mostly in the Western hemisphere of the globe or to privilege Western narratives of drugs and drugs policy. This volume instead turns this approach upside down and makes an intellectual attempt to redefine the subject of drugs in the Global South. Opium, heroin, cannabis, hashish, methamphetamines and khat are among the drugs discussed in the contributions to the volume, which spans from Sub-Saharan Africa to ...
Democracies at War Against Drugs
This book provides an in-depth account of military operations against drug gangs and organizations in two of the biggest countries in Latin America: Brazil and Mexico. Recent studies on drug wars have detailed case studies on the war on drugs but do not focus on the role of the army in such policies. Publications that do drive attention to the military in such situations are usually from human rights organizations or the press and are therefore not scholarly works. There are therefore no recent academic books dealing with the role of the military in the fight against drugs in Latin America. This book aims to fill this gap. It also offers an empirical and theoretical examination of the issue of the role of the military (rather than the police) on national soil—the army being generally devoted to interventions abroad, and the police, to law enforcement on the national ground. The book is also the first work to look at high-level negotiations between military and civilian elites that define the conditions for the use of force during military operations. It provides a theoretically informed understanding of contemporary security politics in Brazil and Mexico.

Coletânea Covid-19 e agendas de pesquisa nas ciências sociais
Propõe ampliar a percepção do impacto do novo Coronavírus na história recente brasileira, o que implica não se ater apenas à questão da saúde, observando também a repercussão na sociedade e na política. Com esse objetivo, analisa a pandemia à luz das agendas de pesquisa nas ciências sociais e humanas. A coletânea aborda o tema sob múltiplos prismas: no mundo do trabalho, em um cenário de instabilidade política, na exposição das vulnerabilidades e desigualdades sociais, nos desafios na adoção de políticas públicas, no âmbito do negacionismo do governo Bolsonaro e suas consequências para as políticas públicas e relações internacionais, e na articulação das Forças Armadas no combate ao Coronavírus como processo de legitimação política da presença militar na vida pública brasileira. Esses e outros aspectos estão presentes nesta obra, que resulta de estudos nas áreas de ciência política, ciência social, antropologia, sociologia e economia.
