Nayib Bukele: El Salvador's President for Life?

Americas
North and South American security, policy, and conflict dynamics.
The Americas are no longer the quiet hemisphere. Cartel governance, presidential standoffs, and U.S. drug-policy enforcement collide with the slow-moving consequences of Cold War alliances and decade-old institutional erosion.
Fronts covers the Americas where the security and political stakes actually move: organized armed groups treated as state-equivalent threats, the politics of legitimacy crises in Latin America, and the U.S. policy choices that ripple south. We focus on incentives and structural pressure, not partisan framing.
