Document Summary
Media analysis: you need media sources of significance (national post, globe and mail, bigger news sources) they can be american, european, etc. because the course goes international. You will have to attach your sources and they will be read. Five page double spaced critical commentary about these articles. We started this course looking at very traditional threats such as state-to-state conflicts, etc. We have now slowly started to part from this traditional definition of security threats such as money laundering and human trafficking, and drugs will also fall under this. Global network of production and distribution has been linked to corrupt organizations, terrorists, corrupt officials. Taking canada and the usa, we take drugs as a security issue. Partially because we make that claim between drug crime and terrorist crimes, we are looking at it domestically but also internationally. Drug criminality is defined as threatening the very essence of our society.
