| Title | The Nested Security Model of Conflict in the War on Drugs in North-Central America |
| Summary | This thesis aims to apply the Nested Security model of conflict analysis to explain how the US external intervention was one of the causes of the escalation of conflict in Mexico and Central America. Using three levels of analysis (systemic, regional, and domestic), I explore the origins of the conflict's spillover. Furthermore, I investigate the US's role as the hegemony inA the construction of a regional security regime in North-Central America. I use a mixed-methods approach, creating maps of conflict's spillover, and graphics of the relationship between antinarcotics programs and organized violet events and homicides. I find that framing the drug problem as a war, escalated the conflict in North-Central America. |
