Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States is cutting edge research. Garay Salamanca and Salcedo-Albarn, along with their contributing authors help document the transition from economic to political imperatives within transnational drug cartels. The break from the Zetas by La Familia Michoacana is one example contained in their empirical survey. Social Network Analysis is their tool for illuminating the varying dynamics of cartel-state inter-penetration and reconfiguration. In doing so they clearly discern between State Capture (StC) and Co-opted State Reconfiguration (CStR). As the drug wars and criminal insurgencies rage in the Americas and beyond, this seminal framework will facilitate efforts by scholars, law enforcement officials, intelligence analysts and policymakers to understand shifts in sovereignty, and to illuminate the mechanisms of transnational illicit networks and their interaction with the state.
Narcotráfico, corrupción y Estado es un novedoso análisis de las redes lícitas del narcotráfico y la corrupción, explica diversos casos ilustrando el camino que ha seguido durante los últimos años la descomposición institucional en Colombia, Guatemala y México. En la actualidad, es común escuchar que el tráfico de drogas en Colombia prácticamente se ha erradicado, sin embargo, en estas páginas se presenta evidencias de que nos hallamos frente a una situación muy distinta: el narcotráfico no sólo no ha desaparecido en ese país, sino que su estructura regional en el hemisferio occidental se ha transformado radicalmente.
