Alke Jenss in dialogue about her book "Selective Security in the War on Drugs"

As part of the network’s latest video series "In Dialogue", Alke Jenss provides an overview of her recent book “Selective Security in the War on Drugs. The Coloniality of State Power in Colombia and Mexico“. Her work interweaves and expands debates on authoritarian neoliberalism and the coloniality of state power. In doing so, it provides a unique theoretical perspective to study state security practices in the context of the so-called war on drugs in Latin America.
