This volume aims to go beyond the study of developments within
Mexico's criminal world and their relationship with the state and
law enforcement. It focuses instead on the nature and consequences
of what we call the 'totalization of the drug war', and its
projection on other domains which are key to understanding the
nature of Mexican democracy. The volume brings together chapters
written by distinguished scholars from Mexico and elsewhere who
deal with three major questions: what are the main features of and
forces behind the persistent militarization of the drug war in
Mexico, and what are the main consequences for human rights and the
rule of law; what are the consequences of these developments on the
public sphere and, more specifically, on the functioning of the
press and freedom of expression; and how do ordinary people engage
with the effects of violence and insecurity within their
communities, and which initiatives and practices of 'justice from
below' do they develop to counter an increased sense of
vulnerability, suffering and impunity?
