Conclusion. 330 $aThis book challenges the quasi-consensus that Latin American countries dominate global homicide rankings mainly due to the illegal nature of drug production and trafficking. Building on US scholarship that looks at the role of social exclusion and discriminatory policing in drug violence, the authors of this volume show that the association between illegality and violence cannot be divorced from the inequality that prevails in those countries. This book looks in detail at the functioning of drug markets in Recife, the largest metropolitan area in Brazil?s North-East and, over the last 25 years, the heart of the country?s most violent metropolitan area. Building on extensive interviews and field work, the authors map out the city?s drug markets and explore the reasons why some of those markets are violent, and others are not. The analysis focuses on the micromechanics of each market, looking at consumption patterns and at the workings of retail sales and distribution. Such a systematic micro-level comparative analysis of the workings of Latin American drug markets is simply not available elsewhere in current literature. These findings point to significant gaps in current understandings of the link between illegal markets and violence, and they illuminate the need to factor in the way in which those markets are nested in exclusionary social contexts. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aLatin America?Economic conditions 606 $aTransnational crime 606 $aLatin America?Politics and government 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aLatin American and Caribbean Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45040 606 $aTrafficking$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B4030 606 $aLatin American Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911150 606 $aUrban Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010 606 $aLaw and Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W39000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 615 0$aLatin America?Economic conditions. 615 0$aTransnational crime. 615 0$aLatin America?Politics and government. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aLatin American and Caribbean Economics. 615 24$aTrafficking. 615 24$aLatin American Politics. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aLaw and Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a330.0098 700 $aDaudelin$b Jean$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062707 702 $aRatton$b José Luiz$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299362703321 996 $aIllegal Markets, Violence, and Inequality$92527903 997 $aUNINA
