Narcoterrorism in Mexico

The Mexican Drug War and Some Law Enforcement and Military Aspects of it

Abstract

In my writing, I present the phenomenon of the "Mexican Drug War," both from a military and law enforcement perspective. Illegeal drug trafficking has a history of more than 100 years on the American continent, and I discuss its changes and key milestones in the first half of the publication. In what follows, I will explore the effects of narcoterrorism on the state, and in connection with this, I will examine whether Mexico can be considered a „failed state” or not. Then I introduce the most important actors of the complex environment thus formed, and the possibilities of cooperation between law enforcement and military professions, and in the last part I summarize my conclusions and suggestions.
