In this chapter we first discuss borders in Latin America and their role in state violence. Securitization of cross-border phenomena such as drug trafficking and migration is partly produced by and reinforces uneven state capacity, weak rule of law, and inequality. Second, by exploring the case of Mexico, we illustrate the prevalence of state violence on the country’s northern and southern borders, related to issues of drugs and migration. Mexico is not an isolated case, and so we conclude by illustrating the alarming pattern of militarization of borders and surging state violence against migrants in countries across the region.

摘要

In this chapter we first discuss borders in Latin America and their role in state violence. Securitization of cross-border phenomena such as drug trafficking and migration is partly produced by and reinforces uneven state capacity, weak rule of law, and inequality. Second, by exploring the case of Mexico, we illustrate the prevalence of state violence on the country’s northern and southern borders, related to issues of drugs and migration. Mexico is not an isolated case, and so we conclude by illustrating the alarming pattern of militarization of borders and surging state violence against migrants in countries across the region.
