As usual, I love reading the readers' comments because they often shed a little light on corners that are in the shadows.<br /><br />My "cynical" perspective focuses on the authors' trite and uninspiring conclusions: <br /><br />(1.) ... "Removing the criminal justice system from the realm of politics would theoretically make public security less susceptible to ill effects stemming from political handovers ." <br /><br />The above is "slick' academic-speak, akin to concluding that the ground seems wet because it has been raining for 3 days. IMO, the authors could have given at least one or two practical and suggestions on "how" this might be done. <br /><br />Next, the authors conclude:<br /><br />2. "... it is also clear that Mexico needs to establish a security equilibrium that does not rely on collusion between government officials and criminal groups." <br /><br />Again, trite academic-speak for stating the obvious that "government officials are corrupted by criminal groups." Well, duh, isn't this excruciatingly obvious from the many story we've read on BB since forever? IMO, the authors could have offered a few practical "how" to do suggestions!<br /><br />IMO, these scholars write about reality levels far from the day-to-day grounded realities of blood in the streets and fear in the hearts of Mexicans. For example, they could have mentioned the AUTO DEFENSA groups concept (e.g. Dr. Mireles) as "peoples'" efforts at dealing with safety, corruption, decency and honor in Mexico's body politic. <br /><br />Too bad, Charles Bowden is not with us ... I be he would have had an interesting take on the Insight article.<br /><br />Mexico-watcher<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-10997496264399717112017-11-02T12:03:39.330-06:002017-11-02T12:03:39.330-06:00Culture.

While this was perhaps a "good" change for various reasons, having various political parties fighting for control certainly made things easier to exert external control. You know "divide and conquer" has worked well for a long time. <br /><br />Well Mexico is definitely divided on many levels, and it's so much easier to manipulate.<br /><br />ElCienAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-41009636510569944302017-11-02T06:08:05.607-06:002017-11-02T06:08:05.607-06:00Politicos lost control.

The majority of the drugs flowing north started going through mexico after the fall of Pablo Escobar . The south Americans partnered with the Mexicans was a start . There is a higher percentage of drugs consumed in the usa coming through Mexico than ever before . There is also more drugs than before after adding the Meth factor into the equation . Speaking of meth , there is a shit load of Mexican bullet sprayers on this shit and that a fairly new deal that also contributes. Sounds more like a their study had the conclusion they were looking for. Same shit here in the USA people opposing one political party can do a study and it always concludes the one they want to be bad is . For instance some would say Chicago politicians are corrupt and we had one in the white house for 8 years and that's why the drug problem exploded .<br />Trump will bring them to healAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-86245700025091996422017-11-01T21:13:05.441-06:002017-11-01T21:13:05.441-06:00The conclusion is based heavily on correlation, de...The conclusion is based heavily on correlation, demonstrating causation was not attempted, and I believe the theory's rationale, even if true, is only a small factor.
