The most comprehensive book on Mexico’s contemporary security
challenges and possible policy available. A wealth of information
simplified into a brilliantly written work of scholarship. A must
read.

Organized Crime, Drug Trafficking, and Violence is an excellent
synthesis of the evaluation of organized crime related to drug
trafficking and the war that President Calderón declared in 2006.
The result was a significant increase in violence. Six years
after the change in government Enrique Peña Nieto came to power and
decided to try to change the strategy without success. The authors
argue that within Mexico there are some states, in fact, that are
failed states because the government’s efforts to dismantle the
drug cartels were not successful. The book is an excellent
analysis for better understanding 10 years in which Mexico has
applied the strategy of the war on drugs.
