    ORGANIZED CRIME AND TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN MEXICO, 1999-2002 A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the United States Government February 2003 Researcher: Ramón J.

Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540−4840 Tel: 202−707−3900 Fax: 202−707−3920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Criminal and Terrorist Activity in Mexico PREFACE This study is based on open source research into the scope of organized crime and terrorist activity in the Republic of Mexico during the period 1999 to 2002, and the extent of cooperation and possible overlap between criminal and terrorist activity in that country. The analyst examined those organized crime syndicates that direct their criminal activities at the United States, namely Mexican narcotics trafficking and human smuggling networks, as well as a range of smaller organizations that specialize in trans-border crime. The presence in Mexico of transnational criminal organizations, such as Russian and Asian organized crime, was also examined. In order to assess the extent of terrorist activity in Mexico, several of the country’s domestic guerrilla groups, as well as foreign terrorist organizations believed to have a presence in Mexico, are described. The report extensively cites from Spanish-language print media sources that contain coverage of criminal and terrorist organizations and their activities in Mexico.

  • Violence and Growth in the Mexican Drug War ∗
    Violence and Growth in the Mexican Drug War ∗ Jesús Gorrín y José Morales-Arilla z Bernardo Ricca § December 30, 2019 Abstract This paper documents how violence resulting from the Mexican Drug War hindered local economic growth by affecting production. Focusing on exports allows us to control for demand factors, and hence measure effects on local supply. We compare exports of the same product to the same country of destination, but produced in municipalities with different exposure to violence after a close electoral outcome. Municipalities exogenously exposed to the Drug War experienced a 45% decrease in 3-year export growth. The effects concentrate on larger exporters, along with exports of more complex, capital-intensive, and skill-intensive products. Keywords: Exports, Violence, Mexico, Regression Discontinuity.

  • Baylor University High School Model United Nations Fall 2010 Conference
    Baylor University High School Model United Nations Fall 2010 Conference United Nations Security Council Background & Preparation Guide Dear Delegate, Welcome to the 2010 Baylor University Model United Nations High School Conference. The Baylor Model United Nations team is looking forward to working with you. We hope that your session at Baylor will be memorable and productive. Model United Nations provides gifted students with the unique opportunity to tackle current issues of global importance while improving their own individual speaking, writing, and networking skills. Moreover, Model United Nations opens students’ minds to other nationalities, governments, and cultures beyond their individual worldviews. Model United Nations also serves to motivate students toward professions in the international sphere, including business, journalism, public affairs, politics, and humanitarian causes. With regards to this conference, the authors decided that the Security Council delegates should discuss two current issues of the utmost global importance: Israel and Hezbollah in the Lebanon War, and the threat of the Mexican Drug Cartels. The two topics are issues affecting all aspects of international affairs, including international security, global economics, and humanitarian concerns. Both issues require that delegates first find solutions to the regional crises and second, implement the proper measures to ensure that unrest does not return. These conflicts may seem worlds away from the typical high school student, but Model United Nations delegates should understand that these are real issues affecting real people. In order to properly address these issues, a prepared delegate should take the introductory material supplied in this guide and research further and deeper into its specific application.

    (Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje By Agustín Palacios A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair Professor José Rabasa Professor Nelson Maldonado-Torres Universtiy of California, Berkeley Spring 2012 Copyright by Agustín Palacios, 2012 All Rights Reserved. Abstract (Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje by Agustín Palacios Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair This dissertation investigates the development and contradictions of the discourse of mestizaje in its key Mexican ideologues and its revision by Mexican American or Chicana/o intellectuals. Great attention is given to tracing Mexico’s dominant conceptions of racial mixing, from Spanish colonization to Mexico’s post-Revolutionary period. Although mestizaje continues to be a constant point of reference in U.S. Latino/a discourse, not enough attention has been given to how this ideology has been complicit with white supremacy and the exclusion of indigenous people. Mestizofilia, the dominant mestizaje ideology formulated by white and mestizo elites after Mexico’s independence, proposed that racial mixing could be used as a way to “whiten” and homogenize the Mexican population, two characteristics deemed necessary for the creation of a strong national identity conducive to national progress. Mexican intellectuals like Vicente Riva Palacio, Andrés Molina Enríquez, José Vasconcelos and Manuel Gamio proposed the remaking of the Mexican population through state sponsored European immigration, racial mixing for indigenous people, and the implementation of public education as a way to assimilate the population into European culture.

  • Charting out the Digital Ecosystem of Gangs in the U.S. and Mexico by Julian Way and Robert Muggah Journal Article | Apr 11 2016 - 12:19Am
    Charting Out the Digital Ecosystem of Gangs in the U.S. and Mexico By Julian Way and Robert Muggah Journal Article | Apr 11 2016 - 12:19am Charting Out the Digital Ecosystem of Gangs in the U.S. and Mexico Julian Way and Robert Muggah [1] People, drugs and weapons are routinely smuggled across the U.S.-Mexican border. Drug trafficking cartels and organized criminal gangs are suppliers, brokers, retailers and regulators of the trade. Conventional assessments of the political economy of the illicit trafficking along known corridors such as San Diego-Tijuana or El Paso-Ciudad Juarez rely on painstaking qualitative assessments, including key informant interviews with those in and outside the business. In some cases, quantitative approaches are deployed, including modeling flows on the basis of extant data on sex trafficking or drugs and arms seizures. Due in part to the rapid digital penetration of the Internet and social media over the past decade, there are novel ways of tracking cartel and gang activity. Many of these approaches are still experimental and in early stages of development.[2] This article considers the digital ecosystem linking gangs in San Diego, Tijuana and more widely across Mexico and other parts of Latin America. The focus is not restricted to mapping the online presence of gangs in social media and related public digital platforms, but also the dynamic interaction between members, affiliates and the wider public. The article draws on research conducted in partnership with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and University of San Diego in 2015. The article considers the digital activities of gangs – especially Latin American groups – at two levels.

Guevara Introduction Propaganda has an extensive history of invisibly infiltrating society through influence and manipulation in order to satisfy the originator’s intent. It has the potential long-term power to alter values, beliefs, behavior, and group norms by presenting a biased ideology and reinforcing this idea through repetition: over time discrediting all other incongruent ideologies. The originator uses this form of biased communication to influence the target audience through emotion.
