Book Synopsis Organized Crime, Fear and Peacebuilding in Mexico by : Mauricio Meschoulam
Download or read book Organized Crime, Fear and Peacebuilding in Mexico written by Mauricio Meschoulam and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the psychosocial effects that organized crime related violence has produced in Mexico. It connects one of the major worries of our times – terrorism – with the conditions of peacelessness that prevail in Mexico. Specifically, the project explores the role played by fear as a peace disruptor, as well as one of the most important obstacles to social and democratic development, and inclusiveness. The volume contributes to the debate on whether the escalation of violence in Mexico since 2006 has produced circumstances similar to those countries that suffer terrorism, and to what degree that discussion can help in the construction of a more democratic and inclusive society.

Book Synopsis Mexico's Security Failure by : Paul Kenny
Download or read book Mexico's Security Failure written by Paul Kenny and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico has failed to achieve internal security and poses a serious threat to its neighbors. This volume takes us inside the Mexican state to explain the failure there, but also reaches out to assess the impact of Mexico’s security failure beyond its borders. The key innovative idea of the book—security failure—brings these perspectives together on an intermestic level of analysis. It is a view that runs counter to the standard emphasis on the external, trans-national nature of criminal threats to a largely inert state. Mexico’s Security Failure is both timely, with Mexico much in the news, but also of lasting value. It explains Mexican insecurity in a full-dimensional manner that hasn’t been attempted before. Mexico received much scholarly attention a decade ago with the onset of democratization. Since then, the leading topic has become immigration. However, the security environment compelling many Mexicans to leave has been dramatically understudied. This tightly organized volume begins to correct that gap.

Download or read book Mexico Is Not Colombia written by Christopher Paul and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2014-06-25 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the scope of the threat they pose to Mexico’s security, violent drug-trafficking organizations are not well understood, and optimal strategies to combat them have not been identified. While there is no perfectly analogous case to Mexico’s current security situation, historical case studies may offer lessons for policymakers as they cope with challenges related to violence and corruption in that country.
Book Synopsis Organized Crime in Mexico. Governmental Strategies for Combatting Drug-related Violence by : Theresa Gödde
Download or read book Organized Crime in Mexico. Governmental Strategies for Combatting Drug-related Violence written by Theresa Gödde and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Middle- and South America, grade: 1,7, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: The government strategies and some of the main operations, will be briefly presented after an overview of the existing literature in this field. This is followed by an analysis of why the government strategies not only failed to combat the violence of the TCOs but further fuelled the conflict by resulting in more violence or being violent and aggressive in themselves. As the conclusion indicates, these findings constitute the fundament for future research on conflict resolution and peacebuilding strategies for Mexico's armed conflict by demanding an improved and critically reflected governmental strategy that not solely focuses on military enforcement and 'iron-fisted' approaches. In Mexico, the drug trafficking business has been flourishing since the middle of the 20th century. After the collapse of the hegemony of the country's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in 2000, the state was no longer able to control and subdue criminal drug-trafficking organizations (TCOs). Thus, drug-related violence and organized crime escalated immensely which led former President Felipe de Jesus Calderón Hinojosa to declare the 'war on drugs' in 2006. His two successors Enrique Peña Nieto and Andrés Manuel López Obrador pursued predominantly similar strategies which will be briefly presented after an overview of the existing literature in this field.

Book excerpt: Shared Responsibility: U.S.-Mexico Policy Options for Confronting Organized Crime is a joint research project between the Woodrow Wilson Center's Mexico Institute and the University of San Diego's Trans-Border Institute. This publication examines specific challenges for security cooperation between the United States and Mexico including efforts to address the consumption of narcotics, money laundering, arms trafficking, intelligence sharing, policy strengthening, judicial reform, civil-military relations, and the protection of journalists. It concludes that binational efforts to stop organized crime and the exploding violence in Mexico have made positive advances but could fail to adequately address the challenge unless cooperation is significantly deepened and expanded.
Book Synopsis Institutional Reforms and Peacebuilding by : Nadine Ansorg
Download or read book Institutional Reforms and Peacebuilding written by Nadine Ansorg and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the question how institutional reform can contribute to peacebuilding in post-war and divided societies. In the context of armed conflict and widespread violence, two important questions shape political agendas inside and outside the affected societies: How can we stop the violence? And how can we prevent its recurrence? Comprehensive negotiated war terminations and peace accords recommend a set of mechanisms to bring an end to war and establish peace, including institutional reforms that promote democratization and state building. Although the role of institutions is widely recognized, their specific effects are highly contested in research as well as in practice. This book highlights the necessity to include path-dependency, pre-conflict institutions and societal divisions to understand the patterns of institutional change in post-war societies and the ongoing risk of civil war recurrence. It focuses on the general question of how institutional reform contributes to the establishment of peace in post-war societies. This book comprises three separate but interrelated parts on the relation between institutions and societal divisions, on institutional reform and on security sector reform. The chapters contribute to the understanding of the relationship between societal cleavages, pre-conflict institutions, path dependency, and institutional reform. This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, development studies, security studies and IR.
Book Synopsis Organized Crime in Mexico by : Cameron H. Holmes
Download or read book Organized Crime in Mexico written by Cameron H. Holmes and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized Crime in Mexico takes a hard look at the dire implications of the pervasive and powerful criminal enterprises in northern Mexico, comparing and contrasting the present threat to past issues, including drug and human smuggling during the latter half of the twentieth century. Criminal organizations operating in Mexico and the United States threaten the economic well-being of North America as well as the democratic freedoms of our neighbor to the south. Cameron H. Holmes, an experienced organized-crime prosecutor and anti-money laundering expert, shows how this shift in criminal activity is extremely damaging to North American economies and explains that in order to halt this economic erosion, U.S. policy requires a new strategy, changes in thinking, and new and increased countermeasures. Strategically, we have light-years to travel and little time to do it. Without intervention criminal activity will strangle legitimate business, degrade the Mexican economy, and because the United States itself is so intimately affected, undermine the U.S. economy in turn. Continued prosperity in both countries depends on our joint success in controlling these criminal enterprises. Organized Crime in Mexico examines the new diversification and strategies of organized criminal groups, suggests a series of countermeasures, and places these issues in a global context. What is transpiring in Mexico is part of a larger international problem, and criminal enterprises currently pose new and consistent threats to economies around the world.
Book Synopsis Intimate Crimes: Kidnapping, Gangs, and Trust in Mexico City by : Rolando Ochoa
Download or read book Intimate Crimes: Kidnapping, Gangs, and Trust in Mexico City written by Rolando Ochoa and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-10-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico has one of the highest kidnapping rates in the world. Intimate Crimes outlines the history of kidnapping in Mexico City by constructing a narrative of this crime based on extensive qualitative research on gangs, policing and other crime-related policies. The book also analyses the effect of kidnapping - and crime more broadly - on how communities experience the city, as well as the strategies put in place by potential kidnapping victims to deal with the threat of being victimised by someone close to them, a common occurrence in Mexico City, including analysing the processes through which household employees are screened and selected in Mexican households. The book presents the results of over a year of fieldwork in Mexico, and creates a qualitative database of news reports for the material used in its writing. It includes material from over 70 interviews with kidnapping victims, their families, potential victims and their employees, police, prosecutors, government agents, journalists and other informants. Intimate Crimes contributes to existing criminological literature on Mexico and Latin America by making an important contribution to a subject of the outmost regional importance. The book also contributes to broader criminological topics on the rule of law, criminal gangs, policing and the impact of economic development on crime. It salso build on the existing literature on empirical work on trust and signalling, particularly as it relates to contexts of weak rule of law and low state protection.
Book Synopsis Crime, Violence and the State in Latin America by : Jonathan D. Rosen
Download or read book Crime, Violence and the State in Latin America written by Jonathan D. Rosen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this succinct text, Jonathan D. Rosen and Hanna Samir Kassab explore the linkage between weak institutions and government policies designed to combat drug trafficking, organized crime, and violence in Latin America. Using quantitative analysis to examine criminal violence and publicly available survey data from the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) to conduct regression analysis, individual case studies on Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador, and Nicaragua highlight the major challenges that governments face and how they have responded to various security issues. Rosen and Kassab later turn their attention to the role of external criminal actors in the region and offer policy recommendations and lessons learned. Questions explored include: What are the major trends in organized crime in this country? How has organized crime evolved over time? Who are the major criminal actors? How has state fragility contributed to organized crime and violence (and vice versa)? What has been the government’s response to drug trafficking and organized crime? Have such policies contributed to violence? Crime, Violence and the State in Latin America is suitable to both undergraduate and graduate courses in criminal justice, international relations, political science, comparative politics, international political economy, organized crime, drug trafficking, and violence.
