The author argues that the Mexican situation is signed by a series of particularities that does not fit the Andean model, in particular the fact that the US and Mexico share an extensive border, which possess the risk of a spillover of the drug-generated violence into the US territory. She arguments that the exam of the Iniciativa Mérida provides a series of lessons that may help to redesign the international efforts against drug trafficking. |
