  • Organised Crime and State Sovereignty
    Organised Crime and State Sovereignty The conflict between the Mexican state and drug cartels 2006-2011 Jelena Damnjanovic Honours IV 2011 Department of Government and International Relations The University of Sydney Word Count: 19,373 Student ID: 308171594 This work is substantially my own, and where any part of this work is not my own, I have indicated this by acknowledging the source of that part or those parts of the work. Abstract Since December 2006, the government of Mexico has been embroiled in a battle against numerous criminal organisations seeking to control territory and assure continued flow of revenue through the production and trafficking of drugs. Although this struggle has been well documented in Mexican and international media, it has not received as much scholarly attention due to the difficulties involved with assessing current phenomena. This thesis seeks to play a small part in filling that gap by exploring how and why the drug cartels in Mexico have proved a challenge to Mexico’s domestic sovereignty and the state’s capacity to have monopoly over the use of force, maintain effective and legitimate law enforcement, and to exercise control over its territory. The thesis will explain how the violence, corruption and subversion of the state’s authority have resulted in a shift of the dynamics of power from state agents to criminal organizations in Mexico. It also suggests implications for domestic sovereignty in regions experiencing similar problems with organized crime, perhaps pointing to a wider trend in international

  • MEXICO Dengue Fever
    MEXICO Dengue Fever Briefing note – 16 September 2019 Since the beginning of 2019, a regional epidemic cycle of dengue has broken out in Latin American and the Caribbean. According to the government, as of 2 September, Mexico has 11,593 confirmed cases of dengue, including 798 cases of severe dengue. However, the total number of probable cases is expected to be much higher by the end of 2019. 70% of the cases are primarily within five of Mexico’s provinces: Chiapas, Jalisco, Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Quintana Roo (GoM 02/09/2019) Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave (Veracruz) a state with a population of over 8.1 million, has the highest total number of dengue (3,234) (GoM 02/09/2019 GoV 2017). As of 31 August, Veracruz has 3,234 confirmed cases of dengue, including 82 cases of severe dengue, and 2 confirmed deaths (GoM 02/09/2019). This number is already higher than the figure for the entirety of 2018 for Veracruz, which had 2,239 cases of dengue and 95 cases of severe dengue (GoM 12/2018). Given that the rainy season is expected to continue until October, this number could continue to increase. Incident rate of Dengue Fever across Mexico States (GoM 02/09/2019) Anticipated scope and scale Key priorities Humanitarian constraints The Government of Mexico predicts there will be 74,200 There are no access constraints directly + 2.1M probable cases of dengue by the end of 2019. In 2018 there related to the dengue fever outbreak. children living Veracruz were roughly 25,000.

Cordova-Villalobos1*, Alejandro E. Macias1, Mauricio Hernandez-Avila2, Guillermo Dominguez-Cherit3, Hugo Lopez-Gatell2, Celia Alpuche-Aranda2 and Samuel Ponce de León-Rosales4 1University of Guanajuato, Guanajuato; 2National Institute of Public Health, Cuernavaca; 3National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition, Mexico City; 4National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico Abstract Influenza is a viral respiratory disease capable of causing epidemics that represent a threat for global security. Mexico was the first country to notify the WHO of an outbreak of what later became the first influenza pandemic of the 21st Century, caused by the virus A(H1N1)2009. Before this event Mexico had a national pandemic influenza preparedness plan, which included seasonal influenza vaccination, stockpiles of personal protection equipment and strategic drugs, and risk commu- nication strategies. During the epidemic, the national public health laboratory network and case surveillance systems were strengthened together with surge capacities for intensive care and delivery of antiviral drugs. Risk communication was conducted for people to comply with implemented measures regarding social distancing (workplace and school closures, household quarantine). This report describes the Mexican experience during the 2009 influenza pandemic and the lessons that this experience provides to public health preparedness for future pandemics. (Gac Med Mex.

  • Producing Insecurity: Corn and Markets in Contemporary Mexico
    CORN, MARKETS, AND MOBILIZATION IN MEXICO Erica S. Simmons Assistant Professor of Political Science University of Wisconsin–Madison [email protected] Abstract: In January 2007, Mexicans filled the Zócalo in Mexico City to express opposition to rising corn prices and corn imports. The price of tortillas had risen dramatically across the country—in some regions, prices had quadrupled since the summer. Marching under the banner “without corn there is no country,” consumers and producers, middle class and campesinos united to demand access to affordable, explicitly Mexican corn. Through an analysis of the discourse and symbols deployed during the tortillazo, this paper explains both the cooperation across sectoral lines and the participation of a largely unorganized consumer base by focusing on corn itself. How corn took on meanings in the Mexican context explains the broad-based appeal of the the tortillazo protest. For many Mexicans, tortillas, and corn more generally, are not only a cornerstone of both urban and rural diets but also appear in well-known myths, serve as a centerpiece of daily ritual, and are part of how many conceive of themselves as Mexican. When individuals imagined that they or other Mexicans might not be able to consume a good at the center of daily life and imaginings of nation, they reached across established divides and took to the streets. These insights help us better understand broader patterns of mobilization and quiescence in response to market reforms, reminding us not only of the contingent and conditional character of protest but also of the importance of attention to what markets—and the goods getting marketized—mean across contexts.

  • Public Procurement Review of Mexico's PEMEX
    OECD Public Governance Reviews Public Procurement Review of Mexico’s PEMEX ADAPTING TO CHANGE IN THE OIL INDUSTRY This work is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD. The opinions expressed and arguments employed herein do not necessarily reflect the official views of OECD member countries. This document and any map included herein are without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries and to the name of any territory, city or area. FOREWORD – 3 Foreword In an economic environment characterised by historically low oil prices, oil and gas companies such as Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) face tremendous challenges in maintaining and improving their productivity. In a sector where 40 cents of every dollar earned is spent on raw materials and services, procurement systems are central to a company’s competitiveness. Alongside strategies to maximise value creation, procurement frameworks are needed to safeguard the company from mismanagement and corruption. Furthermore, fierce competition among international oil companies requires flexible and agile frameworks to unlock the innovation potential of the market and develop sustainable and strategic alliances. Following an initial evaluation of PEMEX Corporate Governance and Board arrangements in 2010, and taking into account the 2015 OECD Recommendation on Public Procurement, the report Public Procurement Review of Mexico’s PEMEX: Adapting to Change in the Oil Industry reviews progress made by PEMEX in its procurement function since Mexico’s 2013 Energy Reform, which opened up the state- controlled oil and gas sector to competition. As a result, the company’s procurement function went from a decentralised to a centralised structure to maximise its purchasing power, develop a homogeneous process, facilitate planning, advance the professionalisation of the procurement workforce and implement a comprehensive supplier management framework.
