  • 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.

    8839 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 86, No. 25 Tuesday, February 9, 2021 Title 3— Executive Order 14013 of February 4, 2021 The President Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs To Resettle Refugees and Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nation- ality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., I hereby order as follows: Section 1. Policy. The long tradition of the United States as a leader in refugee resettlement provides a beacon of hope for persecuted people around the world, promotes stability in regions experiencing conflict, and facilitates international collaboration to address the global refugee crisis. Through the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), the Federal Govern- ment, cooperating with private partners and American citizens in commu- nities across the country, demonstrates the generosity and core values of our Nation, while benefitting from the many contributions that refugees make to our country. Accordingly, it shall be the policy of my Administration that: (a) USRAP and other humanitarian programs shall be administered in a manner that furthers our values as a Nation and is consistent with our domestic law, international obligations, and the humanitarian purposes ex- pressed by the Congress in enacting the Refugee Act of 1980, Public Law 96–212. (b) USRAP should be rebuilt and expanded, commensurate with global need and the purposes described above. (c) Delays in administering USRAP and other humanitarian programs are counter to our national interests, can raise grave humanitarian concerns, and should be minimized.

  • 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.

  • Scarcity Without Leviathan: the Violent Effects of Cocaine Supply Shortages in the Mexican Drug War∗
    Scarcity without Leviathan: The Violent Effects of Cocaine Supply Shortages in the Mexican Drug War∗ Juan Camilo Castillo† Daniel Mejía‡ Pascual Restrepo§ This version: April 2015 Abstract In this paper we show how scarcity increases violence in markets without third party enforcement. We construct a model in which supply shortages increase contested revenues and induce more violence. We test our model using the cocaine trade in Mexico. Scarcity created by cocaine seizures in Colombia – Mexico’s main supplier – increase violence in Mexico, especially in municipalities near the U.S. border, in municipalities with multiple cartels, and where crackdowns on the cocaine trade are more frequent. Our results indicate that the sharp decline in the cocaine supply from Colombian observed between 2006 and 2009 may account for 10%-14% of the increase in violence in Mexico in this period, and 25% of the differential increase in the North.

  • 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

  • CWS Strongly Opposes the RAISE Act, Urges Congress to Reject Anti-Family, Anti-Refugee Bill
    CWS Strongly Opposes The RAISE Act, Urges Congress to Reject Anti-Family, Anti-Refugee Bill Church World Service (CWS), a 71-year old humanitarian organization representing 37 Protestant, Anglican, and Orthodox communions, strongly opposes the “Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy” (RAISE) Act. We urge all Members of Congress to reject this anti-family and anti- refugee legislation introduced by Senators Cotton (R-AR) and Perdue (R-GA) and supported by President Trump. The RAISE Act would permanently cap refugee admissions at 50,000 per year, the lowest resettlement goal in U.S. history, during the largest global refugee crisis in world history. Despite the sponsors’ citation of an arbitrary “13-year average”, the average annual resettlement goal between when Congress passed the 1980 Refugee Act and today has been 95,000, and the average number of resettled refugees has been 80,000.1 Such a drastic, permanent cut to resettlement would reduce U.S. leadership abroad and tie the hands of the State Department in key diplomatic negotiations to encourage other countries to keep their doors open to refugees and allow refugees to work and refugee children to go to school. Refugee resettlement is a cost-effective form of humanitarian relief that is a lifeline for those who cannot return to their homes or rebuild their lives in a nearby country.2 Refugees contribute meaningfully to the U.S. economy as earners and taxpayers, including more than $56 billion in spending power.3 This bill dishonors the sanctity of families and commodifies the worth of individuals by making family reunification inaccessible and essentially only permitting individuals who have certain education levels, employment, and English-language ability to enter the United States.

I draw on Norbert Elias, Emile Durkheim, Marcel Mauss, among other social theorists and historians, to counter dominant views of fear in the social sciences as a sole destroyer of the social fabric with evidence of how and why fear both tears and tightens the social fabric, both destroys and fosters solidarity. Yet with the exception of a few spaces of hope where families of victims of forced disappearances organized to demand justice from the state, this “tightening” of the social fabric did not transcend but rather exacerbated socio-spatial divides.

Jaime Rodríguez Calderón, also known as El Bronco, who was elected as an independent candidate in June 2015 (SourceMex, June 24, 2015) and who took office in October of that year. The riot––reportedly a battle for control of the prison between two factions of the criminal organization the Zetas—left 49 casualties. Prison sources said most of the victims were stabbed to death with homemade weapons or beaten to death with sticks. By all accounts, Rodríguez Calderón did not handle the situation well, taking too long to react to the emergency and then placing the blame on missteps that occurred during the administration of his predecessor, former Gov.
