Drugs, Ports and Other Challenges: In Need of a Comprehensive and Coordinated Multilevel Strategy

EU-LAC Policy Brief | 2025


  • Abstract

    The European Union—Latin America and the Caribbean Foundation (EU-LAC) and the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) co-organised, with the support of the City of Hamburg, the two-day workshop ‘Port Cities Fighting Transatlantic Drug Trafficking’ in early April 2025. The event offered a unique space to generate in-depth, interdisciplinary and insightful discussion between experts from diverse backgrounds. The workshop’s core focus was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge as well as nurture action-oriented reflections on the changing dynamics of drug trafficking from Latin America and the Caribbean to Europe, addressing the role of ports and port cities herein especially. This policy brief presents some of the core themes and insights emerging from the workshop, highlighting a number of key takeaways.

The chapter describes different types of war economies and discusses their implications for building lasting peace in transitional societies.
