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 for the public sphere and, more specifically, for 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? 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Drug control $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Mexico. 650 7 $a Drug control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01032891 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 700 1 $a Pansters, W.
