Episode 5: Migration Decisions and Citizen Security w/ Juan Pablo Gordillo (UNDP)
<p>Migration is a choice, albeit one that doesn't get made lightly. Enabling people to make that choice without fear or desperation requires attention to multiple risks and vulnerabilities. This is especially true among women, youth, and the thousands deported back to Central America from the U.S. each year.</p> <p>In this final episode of Volume I, Deputy Coordinator at the UN Development Programme Juan Pablo Gordillo joins from El Salvador to discuss the UNDP's framework of "citizen security". Citizen security attempts to address people's vulnerabilities through prevention-focused programs that turn away from the "mano dura" policies we've seen in the past. In this effort, civil society groups confront both local challenges and the echoes of a political rhetoric in the United States that criminalize those who migrate without legal status.</p> <p><br></p> <p><u>Credits</u></p> <p>Guest: Juan Pablo Gordillo ,Deputy Coordinator of the Infosegura Team, United Nations Development Program</p> <p>Host: Joseph Flores</p> <p>Producer: Joseph Flores</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sponsored by the Strauss Center for International Security and Law.</p> <p>For the full interview text and more resources, visit the Tangled Roots website <a href="https://www.jsphflores.com/tangled-roots-pod/episode-5" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

Episode 4: U.S. Gangs in Central America w/ Dr. Michael Paarlberg
<p>For all the attention paid to people coming from Central America, the United States sends a lot back to the region as well. Remittances, corn, and even... criminal gangs?</p> <p>In this episode, Dr. Michael Paarlberg recounts the origins and operations of the gangs Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and Barrio 18 (18th Street Gang) from the streets of Los Angeles, California to the prisons of Central America. As an unintended consequence of the growing deportation system, the United States has slowly fueled the region's deadly gang problem for the last thirty years. </p> <p><br></p> <p><u>Credits</u></p> <p>Guests: Dr. Michael Paarlberg, Assistant Professor of Political Science at VCU</p> <p>Host: Joseph Flores</p> <p>Producer: Joseph Flores</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sponsored by the Strauss Center for International Security and Law.</p> <p>For the full interview text and more resources, visit the Tangled Roots website <a href="https://www.jsphflores.com/tangled-roots-pod/episode-4" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

Episode 3: Rethinking Development and Migration w/ Reva Resstack
<p>USAID implements hundreds of projects a year in Central America in an effort to improve the lives of the people living there. It's admirable work that has been increasingly tied to one questionable goal: Keeping people from wanting, if not needing, to leave their communities.</p> <p>In this episode, researcher Reva Resstacks brings us back to a high-level look at the United States' relationship with Central America, this time focused on international development efforts. Reva invites us to question the premise of "Root Causes" Strategy itself and ask whether it's smart - let alone right - to have a goal that envisions less people pursuing better lives in the U.S.</p> <p><br></p> <p><u>Credits</u></p> <p>Guest: Reva Resstack, Research Assistant at the Center for Global Development.
