“Cartel Land” Cartel Land
VIDEO
A brutal deep dive into the ruthless drug cartels and the ordinary Mexican and American vigilantes trying to stop them.
“Cartel Land” tracks two groups of vigilantes on both sides of the border as they try to fight drug cartels and fill the gaps left by their own law enforcement agencies, which seem strangely powerless. But the “good guys” aren’t blameless, either. ~ NY Times
Dr. Jacek Lubecki discusses his new book Defense Politics of East-Central European Countries after 1989: Creating Stability in a Time of Uncertainty
VIDEO
The 2014 Ukrainian-Crimean crisis has raised serious questions in the West about Russian motivations and future policy directions. Now more than ever, it is imperative to explore the defensive perceptions, reactions, and preparations of neighbouring countries, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Is there a convergence of their approaches along similar paths, or do their different cultures and historical experiences prefigure a divergence of their defense policies? While Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic all seem to have little concern about Russia’s policies in Ukraine, the Polish response has been uniquely strong and militarized. Dr. Lubecki’s book explores reasons for the different responses to the crisis.
Dr. Jacek Lubecki is Associate Professor of Political Science and International Studies at Georgia Southern University. His publications include “Echoes of Latifundism” (Eastern European Politics and Societies, winter 2004), “Poland in Iraq” (The Polish Review, summer 2005), “Reconstructing Galicia” (Europe-Asia Studies, 2010), and “Józef Piłsudski’s Influence on Polish Armed Forces of the Interwar Period” (The Polish Review, 2011).
