Edited volume that goes beyond the study of developments within Mexico’s criminal world, focusing instead on the nature and consequences of the “totalization of the drug war” and its projection onto domains key to understanding Mexican democracy. Chapters cover securitization, militarization, human rights, freedom of expression for journalists, and community responses to violence and insecurity.
