    Criminality and Violence in South America: The Challenges for Peace and UNASUR’s Response
    in International Studies Perspectives , vol. 18, issue 1, february ,  2017 ,  64-80
    ABSTRACT: This article aims to present the main challenges related to violence and crime in South America and to analyze how the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) has responded. A content analysis of the official documents and minutes of three UNASUR councils is presented. The councils examined are the Defense Council, the World Drug Problem Council, and the Council on Citizen Security, Justice and Coordinated Action against Transnational Organized Crime. Notwithstanding its innovative bureaucratic structure, this research suggests that the structures of UNASUR have not kept pace with the growth of violence and crime.
