Abstract

The objective of this article is to revise and systemize part of the Anglo-Saxon academic bibliography on public security and how this literature views the role of the U.S.A. in Latin America, in the post-September 11 scenery. The conversion of the “war on terror” into programmatic and structuring pivot of bilateral relations established by the U.S.A. with other countries brought modifications in the formulation and implementation plan of security policies in several countries of the globe. These modifications influenced the formulation and model of public security policies - whether they are adopted internal policies for the North-American society, or security policies of the countries that relate (and those who don’t relate) with the United States government. This revision, therefore, analyzes the texts produced between the years of 2001-2010 on the theme of thus the so-called “war on terror” and Latin America.
