About the Series

Borders and Illegal Markets in Latin America

Beatriz Zepeda (Project Leader), El Colegio de México

This series explores the strategic role that borders, and borderlands play in the articulation of illegal markets to the south of the Río Bravo. Focusing on a variety of topics such as gender, contraband, migrant smuggling, drug trafficking, arms trafficking and human trafficking, and many more, the series sheds light on the particularities of illegal markets and the enabling role borders play therein, while providing –when taken as a whole—a more general and complete picture of how borders across Latin America are linked in ways that facilitate global illegal flows.
