Politics of Crime in Mexico: Democratic Governance in a Security Trap


Add your own review!

Overview

"What kind of democracy will emerge in Mexico when the current levels of violence are brought under control? Will democratic reformers gain strength in the new equilibrium between government and criminal organisations? Or will corruption tilt the balance toward criminal interests? In the context of these questions, John Bailey explores the ""security trap"" in which Mexico is currently caught—where the dynamics of crime, violence, and corruption conspire to override efforts to put the country on a path toward democratic governance."
