In the eyes of the global media, modern Mexico has become
synonymous with crime, violence and insecurity. But while media
fascination and academic engagement has focussed on the drug war,
an equally dangerous phenomenon has taken root. In The Punitive
City, Markus-Michael Muller argues that what has emerged in Mexico
is not just a punitive urban democracy, in which those at the
social and political margins face growing violence and exclusion.
More alarmingly, it would seem that clientelism in the region is
morphing into a private, political protection racket. Vital reading
for anyone seeking to understand the implications of a phenomenon
that is becoming increasingly widespread across Latin America.
