US Aggression in the Americas Emboldens Cartel Violence: A Systemic Analysis of the 'Donroe Doctrine'
Original framing: “Trump’s ‘Donroe Doctrine’ Supercharges Violence in the Americas” — The Intercept
The 'Donroe Doctrine' is part of a long-standing pattern of US foreign policy in the Americas, dating back to the Monroe Doctrine and the Reagan-era 'War on Drugs'. This historical context is crucial in understanding the root causes of cartel violence and the need for a more nuanced and multifaceted approach.
The 'Donroe Doctrine' is a symptom of a broader US foreign policy approach that prioritizes military intervention over diplomatic solutions.
This approach has had devastating consequences for indigenous communities and marginalized groups in the Americas, who have been disproportionately affected by cartel violence. A more nuanced approach to addressing cartel violence must prioritize community-led initiatives, economic development, and diplomatic solutions, taking into account the complex factors driving this phenomenon and the need for a more multifaceted approach. This includes examining the historical context of US foreign policy in the Americas and centering the perspectives of marginalized groups in policy interventions.
