Peter Watt, Roberto Zepeda

Drug War Mexico

Politics, Neoliberalism and Violence in the New Narcoeconomy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this controversial book, Watt and Zepeda contend that the failing 'war on drugs' in Mexico, launched by president Felipe Caleron and funded by US military aid, 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.
