Session Submission Summary

Crime and Violence, Civil-Military Relations, and Democracy in Mexico

Fri, May 27, 9:45 to 11:15am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

Given the significant levels of crime and violence in Mexico since 2006, this panel explores the relationship between crime and violence, civil-military relations, and democracy in Mexico. In particular, the panel brings together studies on Mexican civil-military relations that explore the internal security missions of the armed forces, public evaluations of these institutions, Mexican military justice reform, and the political implications of insecurity on democratic consolidation in Mexico. This line of scholarship has significant implications for the long-term stability of the state and state security forces, as well as Mexico’s democracy
