Presented by the Georgia Council for International Visitors (GCIV) in partnership with the Atlanta Global Studies Center, the annual 2022 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 3 – March 31, 2022 at 7:30 PM. There is a fee to register for the virtual lecture series, and registration is required to receive the event link.

This Week’s Topic: Drug Policy in Latin America

• Speaker: Dr. Alex Berg

The issue of migration to the United States from Latin America has overshadowed the war on drugs, which has been underway for decades with little signs of progress. What are the roots and the bureaucratic logic behind today’s dominant drug policies in Latin America? Is it time to reconsider punitive drug control policies that disrupt supply chains and punish drug possession?
