Transnational organized crime and drug trafficking are the critical cause of violence in Latin America. Central America’s role differs from that of South America and Mexico in that it functions as bridge for the transport of drugs into the United States. Despite the heavy transport of drugs through Central America, Nicaragua remains a country with relatively low violence and low gang activity compared to the others. This study was aimed to bring new voices and perspectives to discussions of Korean national security policy and global engagement regarding drug trafficking. The current paper explored the differences between each of the countries in Central America and Nicaragua’s role to examine its unique approach to managing organized crime. Moreover, the apparent impact of Nicaragua’s response to drug trafficking also was explored including the impact on international relations, governance, and environment conservation. Finally, the researchers discussed policy implications and limitations, and suggestions for future research to collect more reliable data that what is currently available regarding this topic.
Abstract
Transnational organized crime and drug trafficking are the critical cause of violence in Latin America. Central America’s role differs from that of South America and Mexico in that it functions as bridge for the transport of drugs into the United States. Despite the heavy transport of drugs through Central America, Nicaragua remains a country with relatively low violence and low gang activity compared to the others. This study was aimed to bring new voices and perspectives to discussions of Korean national security policy and global engagement regarding drug trafficking. The current paper explored the differences between each of the countries in Central America and Nicaragua’s role to examine its unique approach to managing organized crime. Moreover, the apparent impact of Nicaragua’s response to drug trafficking also was explored including the impact on international relations, governance, and environment conservation. Finally, the researchers discussed policy implications and limitations, and suggestions for future research to collect more reliable data that what is currently available regarding this topic.
