In recent years, the south-western border of the United States has
come under increasing pressure from the activities of Mexican
narco-insurgents. These insurgents have developed rapidly from
beginnings as nebulous gangs into networked cartels that have
exposed the porosity of the border. These cartels declare no
allegiance to any nation and are engaging in asymmetrical warfare
against sovereign states throughout Mexico and in Central America.
Within such states, de facto political control is shifting to the
cartels in the 'areas of impunity' that have emerged. This book
addresses these concerns and focuses on the criminal insurgencies
being waged by the gangs and cartels. It is divided into sections
on theory, Mexico, and the Americas and contains a number of
introductory essays pertaining to this premier security threat to
the United States and her allies in the region. Topics covered
include criminal and spiritual insurgency, cartel weapons,
corruption, feral cities, Los Zetas, politicized gangs, and threat
analysis in Central America. This book will be a valuable resource
to scholars in the fields of regional security, criminal justice
and American Studies. It will be of great benefit to military and
civil policymakers and practitioners in the areas of law
enforcement and counternarcotics. This book was published as a
special issue of Small Wars and Insurgencies.
