The objective of the study is to analyze how the strategies of securitization are developed in the face of the emergence of new threats that evolve in the context of International Organized Crime (TOC) in South America.

The main issues discussed are permeated by an understanding of the strategies, theories of international relations and the measures adopted in different spaces of South America in the search to understand and contend the threats that endanger autonomy and international security in the American continent.
