Criminal governance and oligarchic rule in Colombia and Mexico: The role of punitive drug-control
Civil-military Relations in Mexico: From One-Party Dominance to Post-Transitional Insecurity
While far from ideal, civil-military relations in Mexico in the second half of the twentieth century stood apart from the Latin American trend towards military government and dictatorship. Over the course of the last three decades, however, drug-trafficking, organised crime and high levels of violence and insecurity have deeply transformed this historical pattern with Mexico experiencing a clearcut process of militarization and becoming part of a…

Universities worldwide have adopted the approach and a framework for action has been developed to guide universities to become a HPU. However, information on how universities translate the framework into actions is scarce. This study explored…

Global governance entails multilevel and networked relations and interactions for managing and facilitating linkages across policy levels and domains. It consists of formal and …

States of Violence: State-Crime Relations in Mexico
The Responsibility to Protect and its Critics: Explaining the Consensus
While critics have claimed that the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a North-South polarising issue and is therefore controversial, this is a deliberate misrepresentation in a rhetorical war led by a small minority of UN member states. The first section of this article briefly reviews the evolution of this emerging norm from its inception in the 2001 report by the International Commission on State Sovereignty and Intervention (ICISS), to its en…
Lights and Shadows of Household Satellite Accounts: The case of Catalonia, Spain
The construction of Household Satellite Accounts (HSAs) to value household production is not a new object of study. However, as their use has widened, research efforts have focused on resolving technical aspects of valuation assessment and far less attention has been paid to the underlying conceptual aspects. The purpose of this study is to contribute to improving the HSA as an analytical tool. Two approaches are proposed, drawing on existing dat…

Implementing the Responsibility to Protect: The Power of R2P Talk
This article is part of a forum on the report of the United Nations Secretary-General, 'Implementing the Responsibility to Protect', which was released on 12 January 2009.

The forum seeks to provide a range of perspectives on the report. It featur…
Crime and the Global Political Economy

Crime and the Global Political Economy reveals a more complex reality. Taking as a point of departure the reality that state and societal actors are challenged by - and complicit in - the expansion of criminal activities on a global scale, the authors demonstrate th…
Income growth and atmospheric pollution in Spain: An input–output approach
Integration and Security in North America: Do Good Neighbours Need Good Fences
The social and political implications of regional integration processes have been widely studied. In some cases, economic regionalization has been driven by political considerations. In Europe, as is widely known, the integration process was explicitly propelled by grand political motivations. In the words of Jean Monnet, Europe was to create peace.In the early years of NAFTA, the political implications of the integration enterprise were also int…
The International Regulation of Money Laundering
This vile paper-money and funding system; this of Dutch descent, begotten by Bishop Burnet and born in hell; this has turned everything into a gamble. There are hundreds of men who live by being agents to carry on gambling ... many of gamblers live in country; they write up to their gambling agent, whom they call their stockbroker; he gambles according to their order; and they receive profit or stand to loss. Is it possible to conceive a viler ca…
Transnational Organized Crime and International Security: Business as Usual
Though the provision of illicit goods and services is far from being a new phenomenon, today's global economic environment has allowed transnational organized crime an unprecedented capacity to challenge states. The authors of this book examine the trends underlying the explosion of transnational organized crime and consider possible responses. Emphasizing the difficulties encountered by individual states in their efforts to deal with this securi…
The Militarization of the U.S.-Mexico Border, 1978-1992: Low-Intensity Conflict Doctrine Comes Home
The Armed Branch of the State: Civil-Military Relations in Mexico
This article explores the relationship between civil-military relations and political change. Transitions to democracy in Latin America have led scholars to focus attention on the legacy of military rule and those efforts aimed at securing democratic control of the military. The article examines the foundations of civilian supremacy in Mexico, established within the context of a hegemonic party system. Changes brought about in the civil-military …
