Organized drug trafficking and transnationally networked terrorism are transnational threats in Latin America. Security experts see the first as the paramount problem, but regard the second as a mere potential security risk. Latin America’s specific conditions allow limited options for containing non-military threats. Should actors and instruments for containing crime and terrorism be organized on a subregional level, in the Latin American or in the Inter-American context? The author documents promising subregional approaches, especially in the extended Mercosur.
