Beyond the Drug War in Mexico: Human rights, the public sphere and justice: Europa Country Perspectives

Editat de Wil G. Pansters, Benjamin T. Smith, Peter Watt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iul 2019
This volume aims to go beyond the study of developments within Mexico’s criminal world and their relationship with the state and law enforcement. It focuses instead on the nature and consequences of what we call the ‘totalization of the drug war’, and its projection on other domains which are key to understanding the nature of Mexican democracy.
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 on the public sphere and, more specifically, on 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?

Descriere

This volume examines the persistent militarization of the drug war and its consequences for human rights and the rule of law, together with the functioning of freedom of expression, and hence democracy, in a climate of violence, and crucially, on how ordinary people engage with the effects of violence and insecurity within their communities.
