For some states in Latin America, corruption is not simply an
industry, but rather it is part of the political system. This

through expert contributions from scholars from the region who have
diverse scholarly backgrounds, theoretical orientations, and
methodologies. Through case studies of countries throughout the
Americas, the contributors analyze the links between corruption and
organized crime, the main actors involved in corruption,
governmental responses to corruption, and the impact that
corruption has on governmental institutions and people's faith in
them.

This volume examines the relationship between states and organized
crime. It seeks to add to the theoretical literature for analyzing
the criminalization of the state. The volume also explores the
nature of organized crime in countries throughout the Americas from
Central America to the Southern Cone.
The Americas face many security challenges, including drug
trafficking, organized crime, guerrilla movements, terrorism, and
environmental challenges. Experts have long debated whether some
countries in the region can be classified as failed states. While
various states in the Americas have been labeled as failed states,
calling a country a failed state is quite controversial and
requires a precise definition of what constitutes a failed state.
This book instead discusses fragile states in the Americas. Fragile
states are weak states that are fertile grounds for organized crime
groups and illegal actors as such groups are able to infiltrate the
state apparatus through corruption. The goal of this book is to
examine fragile states in the region and the major security
challenges that these states face. The cause of state fragility is
different for various states. Theoretically, the work will
conceptualize the meaning of fragility as it relates to state
survival and autonomy. Empirically, the book focuses on
contemporary threats to the survival of fragile states in the
Americas. The book explains and analyzes the main political,
security, and economic challenges of these states. It employs a
wide array of cases that delve into the security and economic
threats and priorities of states in the Americas.
