This e-book explores the connections and interplay between development and security in the post-2015 scenario. Around the world, illicit and trafficked weapons are jeopardizing community and national development, and perhaps nowhere more so than in Mexico and Central America. Despite improved government transparency, respect for a greater concern for human rights, new regional security and judicial arrangements, and a higher place on the United Nations agenda at a time when post-2015 goals are being set, weapons and related security challenges are still undermining development in Mexico and Central America.
