One of the most surprising developments in Mexico's transition to
democracy is the outbreak of criminal wars and large-scale criminal
violence. Why did Mexican drug cartels go to war as the country
transitioned away from one-party rule? And why have criminal wars
proliferated as democracy has consolidated and elections have
become more competitive subnationally? In Votes, Drugs, and
Violence, Guillermo Trejo and Sandra Ley develop a political theory
of criminal violence in weak democracies that elucidates how
democratic politics and the fragmentation of power fundamentally
shape cartels' incentives for war and peace. Drawing on in-depth
case studies and statistical analysis spanning more than two
decades and multiple levels of government, Trejo and Ley show that
electoral competition and partisan conflict were key drivers of the
outbreak of Mexico's crime wars, the intensification of violence,
and the expansion of war and violence to the spheres of local
politics and civil society.
