While in recent decades scholars have shown that countries transitioning from authoritarian rule to democracy tend to experience major outbreaks of political violence, and that peace prevails only after democratic rules and practices have been fully engrained in society, the association of democratic mechanisms with different forms of violence continues to be mind-boggling. It continues to be analytically surprising and morally disheartening when newly established democratic mechanisms like voting and competitive elections become catalysts of collective violence. It is even more disconcerting when democratic mechanisms become triggers of violent conflict among "non-political" actors like organized criminal groups and drug cartels, which have long been considered quintessential examples of private illicit actors with no interest or meaningful connection with electoral politics. This book is the result of a long intellectual shared journey aimed at making sense of an uncommonly intense wave of large-scale criminal violence in Mexico that began six years after the end of one-party rule, when President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012) declared war on the country's drug cartels, triggering multiple state-cartel and inter-cartel violent conflicts across Mexican territory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Mexico $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Democratization $z Mexico $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Drug control $z Mexico $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Democratization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890123 650 7 $a Drug control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01032891 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $a Drogues $x Lutte contre $0 (FrPBN)11932500 $z Mexique $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $y 2000-.... $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $a Democratie $0 (FrPBN)11932500 $z Mexique $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $y 2000-.... $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $a Criminalit $0 (FrPBN)11932500 $z Mexique $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $y 2000-.... $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $a Politique et gouvernement $z Mexique $0 (FrPBN)13536525 $y 2000-.... $2 ram 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Ley, Sandra $c (Writer on politics), $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Trejo, Guillermo, 1968- $t Votes, drugs, and violence $b 1. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108894807 $w (DLC) 2020018254 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020935.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B5AAC7F6323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
