First, I must thank my research supervisor Professor Nuala Finnegan who is most deserving of my gratitude for, without whom, this thesis would not have been possible. I thank Professor Finnegan for her ideas, her time, and her endless patience, all of which made this a better thesis. Professor Finnegan encouraged me at each and every stage of this long and, sometimes, difficult process and her belief in my capabilities was unwavering, even during some of the most testing times. She is a wonderful mentor who has taught me so much and, for that, I am grateful to have been her student. I profoundly thank my wonderful parents Kathleen and Vincent for their sacrifice and encouragement which has endured throughout every minute of my time in education. Their constant support has allowed me to achieve these great heights in education and, for that, I am deeply grateful. I would also like to extend this gratitude to my wide circle of family and friends for their curiosity and support in my education. I reserve the greatest appreciation for my brother and best friend Niall. I thank him for his humour, his strength and his curiosity at each and every stage of the doctoral process. I must, of course, thank the staff of the Department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies (UCC) who helped me in myriad ways during my time at university. In particular, I would especially like to acknowledge the support of Dr 3 Helena Buffery, who was head of department during much of my time as a PhD researcher and who guaranteed me a measure of financial support during these past few years with the award of the PhD scholarship; I am grateful for the burden which it diminished and the belief in me which it symbolised. I also wish to acknowledge my PhD colleagues: Eva Cabrejas and Rhys Davies for their friendship; Dr Nadia Abaladejo Garcia whose friendship, curiosity and conversations provided me with a well of constant support during some of the most challenging stages of my research; Dr Donna Alexander whose advice and constant encouragement provided me with reassurance when I needed it most. During 2017, I undertook fieldwork in Bolivia as part of my doctoral research and there are many people and organisations to acknowledge and thank as a result. I would like to thank the Universidad Técnica de Oruro (UTO) which hosted me, in particular Professor Oscar Vargas, Dr Milton Salas and their respective families who all warmly welcomed me to Oruro and their homes and who went above and beyond to help support my fieldtrip in any way they possibly could. Further to this, I wish to acknowledge and thank the following for their support while abroad: Orlando Nicolás Arce Cabrera, the staff at the Dirección de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica, Fundación Tierra, Centro de Documentación e Información Bolivia (CEDIB), the staff at the Archivo y Biblioteca Nacionales de Bolivia, Freddy Villagomez (CIPCA), Julio Cuervo, Daniel Manzanedo, Alex Villea Limaco, Rodrigo Mariace, Helga Caithin Ayala, Cecilia Matinzo Iriarte, Maclovio Macroni Humerez, Limber Sanchez (CEPA), Valentina Sanchez, Ann Chaplin. I also wish to thank fellow Bolivianist Dr Britta Katharina Matthes for her encouragement during my PhD and for her willingness to openly share with me her extensive knowledge on the subject of Bolivian politics. 4 Finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank my doctoral examiners Professor Thea Pitman (University of Leeds) and Dr Carlos Garrido Castellano (University College Cork) as well as the chair Dr James Kapalo (University College Cork) for ensuring a wonderful viva experience during the unusual and challenging circumstances of the 2020 global pandemic. 5 Abstract This thesis engages in a comparative analysis of two key ethnopolitical case studies drawn from Bolivia and Mexico. The intention is to critically evaluate the politically diverse ways in which Indigenous groups respond to the challenge of coloniality as they seek to restore their ethnic rights. The 2011 TIPNIS conflict between President Evo Morales (2006-2019) and lowland Indigenous communities reveals the difficulties faced by Bolivia’s former Indigenous president who struggled to find equilibrium between ethnic rights and national economic development. While Morales himself claimed to represent the interests of all Bolivian ethnic groups, the TIPNIS conflict showed that a policy of neoextractivism in combination with territorial development intersected with the struggle for ethnoterritoriality to reproduce scenes of chaos, conflict and socio-territorial change which sometimes distorted, at other times, enhanced his image as an Andean-decoloniser. Comparatively, in 2003, the Zapatista social justice movement bypassed Mexican state relations in order to satisfy their search for ethnoterritoriality. While the Zapatistas struggled in the midst of this pursuit against a global capitalist framework, which they claim, masquerades as international free-trade alliances and foreign corporatism, the rebels have become an important ethnopolitical model of resistance in the context of a neoliberal Mexico. Conceptually framed around notions of place and space, this interdisciplinary study uses a broad range of theoretical approaches (decolonial theory, discourse theory, utopia studies) which facilitates an innovative reading of key speeches, declarations, government policy documents, communiqués and locally-sourced journalistic material and relies on a range of scholarship drawn from cultural studies, political science, 6 anthropology and philosophy. Through its comparative design, this thesis not only generates fresh and original perspectives on contemporary ethnopolitical activity between Mexico and Bolivia but also reveals the challenges, opportunities, similarities and differences which shape diverse forms of ethnopolitcal resistance across the region today. 7 Introduction Introduction In Latin American Studies, ethnopolitics, or the study of Indigenous political activism, has evolved across a range of scholarship, enhanced by an understanding of how Indigenous social movements resist the politics of the international neoliberal order from their specific places and spaces of ethnopolitical thought and action. From the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (hereafter EZLN) in Mexico, which advances a model of ethnopolitical autonomy outside the legal and conceptual limits of the neoliberal state, to the politics of Evo Morales (2006-2019) and the Movimiento Al Socialismo – Instrumento Político por la Soberanía de los Pueblos (hereafter MAS- IPSP), which formally shaped and reworked the foundations of Bolivian state matter in a more ethnically inclusive way, it is clear that ethnopolitics is practiced in diverse ways, across multiple geographies, producing a host of often opposing outcomes. While scholarship tends to endorse alterity in the analysis of ethnopolitical social movements in Latin America (López Caballero and Acevedo-Rodrigo 2018), frequently 8 locating the study of Indigenous political activism within specific local and national contexts, this thesis offers the reader an alternative view whereby I explore the implications of ethnopolitical research from a "hemispheric frame of reference" (Castellanos et al. 2012: 1).

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.

  • The Changing Face of Colombian Organized Crime
    PERSPECTIVAS 9/2014 The Changing Face of Colombian Organized Crime Jeremy McDermott ■ Colombian organized crime, that once ran, unchallenged, the world’s co- caine trade, today appears to be little more than a supplier to the Mexican cartels. Yet in the last ten years Colombian organized crime has undergone a profound metamorphosis. There are profound differences between the Medellin and Cali cartels and today’s BACRIM. ■ The diminishing returns in moving cocaine to the US and the Mexican domi- nation of this market have led to a rapid adaptation by Colombian groups that have diversified their criminal portfolios to make up the shortfall in cocaine earnings, and are exploiting new markets and diversifying routes to non-US destinations. The development of domestic consumption of co- caine and its derivatives in some Latin American countries has prompted Colombian organized crime to establish permanent presence and structures abroad. ■ This changes in the dynamics of organized crime in Colombia also changed the structure of the groups involved in it. Today the fundamental unit of the criminal networks that form the BACRIM is the “oficina de cobro”, usually a financially self-sufficient node, part of a network that functions like a franchise. In this new scenario, cooperation and negotiation are preferred to violence, which is bad for business. ■ Colombian organized crime has proven itself not only resilient but extremely quick to adapt to changing conditions. The likelihood is that Colombian organized crime will continue the diversification

Much of this action has emerged only over the last few years. The tools to be used in responding to the challenges posed by organized crime are still being tested. One of the difficulties in designing effective countermeasures has been a lack of information on what organized crime actually is, and on what measures have proven effective elsewhere. Furthermore, international dis- cussion is often hampered by the murkiness of the definition of organized crime; while some may be speaking about drug trafficking, others are talking about trafficking in migrants, and still others about racketeering or corrup- tion. This report describes recent trends in organized crime and in national and international countermeasures around the world. In doing so, it provides the necessary basis for a rational discussion of the many manifestations of organized crime, and of what action should be undertaken. The report is based on numerous studies, official reports and news reports. Given the broad topic and the rapidly changing nature of organized crime, the report does not seek to be exhaustive.

    United States Attorney Southern District of New York FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE MAY 11, 2007 YUSILL SCRIBNER REBEKAH CARMICHAEL PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE (212) 637-2600 CALI CARTEL FRONT MAN PLEADS GUILTY AND IS SENTENCED ON MONEY LAUNDERING CHARGES MICHAEL J. GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, JOHN P. GILBRIDE, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Division of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA"), and ADAM J. SZUBIN, the Director of the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), announced today the guilty plea and sentencing of FERNANDO GUTIERREZ-CANCINO -- a key participant in the Cali Cartel’s efforts to launder its vast cocaine proceeds -- on money-laundering charges. GUTIERREZ-CANCINO was extradited from Spain to the Southern District of New York in March 2005. According to the Indictment, filed in Manhattan federal court, other court documents, and GUTIERREZ-CANCINO's guilty plea and sentencing proceedings: GILBERTO RODRIGUEZ-OREJUELA and MIGUEL ANGEL RODRIGUEZ­ OREJUELA, co-defendants of GUTIERREZ-CANCINO, once controlled a powerful Colombian narcotics-trafficking organization based in Cali, Colombia (the “Cali Cartel”). The Cali Cartel was involved in all aspects of the cocaine trade, including production, transportation, wholesale distribution, and money laundering. Between in or about 1982 and 1995, the Cali Cartel transported and sold tens of thousands of kilograms of cocaine and ultimately amassed an illicit fortune worth in excess of $1 billion. In order to hide the Cali Cartel fortune from law enforcement detection and seizure, GILBERTO RODRIGUEZ-OREJUELA, MIGUEL ANGEL RODRIGUEZ-OREJUELA, and GUTIERREZ-CANCINO invested the illicit fortune of the Cali Cartel in ostensibly legitimate companies, including companies involved in the production and sale of pharmaceutical drugs.

  • Poesía Peruana Quechua Última Y Neoliberalismo (1980-2007)
    Vol. 10, No. 3, Spring 2013, 54-73 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Peruvian Quechua Poetry (1993-2008): Cultural Agency in Central Andes1 Ulises Zevallos Aguilar Ohio State University 1 This article is based on a presentation which took place at the Symposium: “The Global Script of Indigenous Identities: Local Literacies, Oral Languages, and the Written Word”. Michigan State University, East Lansing, October 30, 2008. The introduction and consolidation of neoliberalism in Peru was carried out by several democratic governments during the last two decades of the twentieth century. Although the political parties have collapsed, new social movements mobilized, defending their own social agendas. Among them, Amazonian, Aymara and Quechua Movements started to organize independently in a micropolitical strategy. The celebration and condemnation of the quincentenerary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas in 1492 contributed to their development. Foundations and international organizations supported indigenous movements’ condemnations of this date, with many organizations making economic aid contingent upon governments’ planning economic and social programs for indigenous peoples. In this way, government offices and NGOs had to develop specific programs for ethnic groups. Without their integration it would have been impossible to receive loans and donations. At the same time, indigenous agency, known as globalization from below, had broken national boundaries. Indigenous immigrants have also contributed to the consolidation of their communities and the emergence of new cultural practices abroad and in their places of origin. Peruvian Quechua Poetry (1993-2008) 55 In recent decades there has been a diminishing of linguistic and cultural diglossia between Quechua and Spanish in the Central and Southern Peru that has made possible the establishment of permanent centers of Quechua literary activity.

  • Guns and Violence: the Enduring Impact of Crack Cocaine Markets on Young Black Males*
    GUNS AND VIOLENCE: THE ENDURING IMPACT OF CRACK COCAINE MARKETS ON YOUNG BLACK MALES* WILLIAM N. EVANS CRAIG GARTHWAITE TIMOTHY J. MOORE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PURDUE UNIVERSITY AND NBER, AND J-PAL AND NBER AND NBER December 2018 Abstract The emergence of crack cocaine markets in the 1980s brought a wave of violence to US cities that has repercussions today. Using cross-city variation in crack’s arrival and the experience of older cohorts, we estimate that the murder rate of young black males doubled soon after these markets were established, and that their rate was still 70 percent higher 17 years later. Using the fraction of gun-related suicides as a proxy for gun availability, we find that access to guns explains both the rise in young black males' murder rates after crack’s arrival and their elevated murder rates today. The authors wish to thank Michael Smith and Timothy Seida for excellent research assistance, and for seminar participants at Auburn University, Harvard University, Northwestern University, University of Georgia, University of Nebraska, Vanderbilt University, and University of Notre Dame for a number of helpful suggestions. Moore acknowledges financial support from an Australian Research Council fellowship (Discovery Early Career Research Award DE170100608). 0 1. Introduction Compared to other developed countries, the United States stands alone in its shockingly high murder rate. In 2015, the U.S. murder rate was 5.5 murders per 100,000 people, which is more than three times the rate of France, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and more than five times the rate of Italy, Germany and Spain.1 Despite being high relative to other developed countries, the U.S.
