During the neoliberal era, narcotrafficking has flourished to become one of the country's biggest sources of revenue, as well as its most violent, with over 12,000 drug-related executions in 2011 alone. This insightful, controversial book throws new light on the situation, contending that the 'war on drugs' in Mexico is in fact a pretext for a US-backed strategy to bolster unpopular neoliberal policies, a weak yet authoritarian government and a radically unfair status quo. 606 $aDrug control$zMexico 606 $aDrug control$zMexico$xInternational cooperation 606 $aDrugs trade / drug trafficking$2bicssc 615 0$aDrug control 615 0$aDrug control$xInternational cooperation. 615 7$aDrugs trade / drug trafficking 676 $a364.1770972 700 $aWatt$b Peter$c(Educator)$01673816 702 $aZepeda Marti?nez$b Roberto 801 0$bMERUC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813689803321 996 $aDrug war Mexico$94038178 997 $aUNINA
