Crime and impunity : three essays on the drug war
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Across Latin America, the emergence of criminal conflict has become a primary security concern. In Mexico, the focus of this dissertation, the federal government deployed the military to enforce the law, but countries across Latin America have seen the emergence and entrenchment of criminal groups organized around the drug trade. This dissertation will explore three interrelated topics. First, it will examine the effect of this conflict on constraints on the government's security forces and examine a sweeping institutional reform that succeeded in limiting these abuses. Second, it will explore the relationship between this conflict and local state capacity. Third, it will explore the ways that cartels build up their own capacity to control their agents and deter rivals.
