Based on an empirical mapping of the EU's drug-related projects in LAC, this article argues that an 'integrated and bal- anced' approach to drugs policy is being replaced by a bifurcation between the broader domains of development policy and security policy. Questions are raised as to how the EU's projects on development and security might counteract one another, and how the Union's programme aimed at dismantling transnational organized crime along the cocaine trafficking routes to Europe might have unintended consequences. While keeping in mind the shifting tectonics of the international drug prohibition consensus, the article goes on to analyze the increasingly salient security rationale in EU external drugs policy against the backdrop of the EU's emerging role as a global security actor. In doing so, it touches upon the intrinsic tensions between human rights and (supra) national security. Keywords Drug policy - EU - Latin America and the Caribbean - Organized crime - Security policy Changes in European Consumption Patterns Since the 1990s Two decades of rising cocaine consumption prevalence as well as related social and health problems in Europe seems to have increased the significance of cocaine (supply and demand) on the EU's policy agenda, both within and outside its borders. 2 Eva Magdalena Stambol eva.m.stambol@gmail.com Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), C.J.
