The global War on Drugs has been a major part of U.S. policy since at least the 1970s, and has played a major role in the nation's relations with Latin America. This class will examine the history of the War on Drugs in countries such as Bolivia, Colombia, and Mexico, as well as the impact of drug policy on the United States.

This class will be 100% online, and will be housed on Canvas. Please direct any pre-registration questions you have to Dr. Elkan at delkan@ccsf.edu.
