The Brown Club in NY Presents
“Smuggler Nation: How Illicit Trade Made America”
With
Professor of Political Science &
International Studies
Peter Andreas
The United States, a country that owes its economic development, expansion, and very existence partly to smuggling, is now the world's leading anti-smuggling crusader. Battles over smuggling have transformed the power and reach of federal law enforcement, and have increasingly blurred the line between policing and security missions. In this fascinating talk, Professor Andreas will lift the veil on how illicit trade helped define and shape America. There will be plenty of time at the end to answer your questions.
