About this listen

Host Dr. Anthony Eames welcomes Dr. Aileen Teague to discuss her landmark study, Policing on Drugs: The United States, Mexico, and the Origins of the Modern Drug War, 1969–2000. Teague examines the intertwined histories of U.S. supply-control strategies, PRI-era political violence, cross-border agency dynamics, and the profound effects of NAFTA and economic crisis on drug trafficking routes. This episode offers a nuanced, archival-driven reassessment of how policy, geopolitics, and local histories shaped the drug war we confront today.
