Seguridad, Traficantes y Militares
Book •
Luis Astorga's work analyzes how Mexican security institutions, trafficking networks, and the military interact within the country's drug-related violence and policy choices.
Drawing on archival research and social theory, Astorga traces the institutional development of security agencies and the construction of the 'trafficker' as a political object.
His research illuminates how official discourses have shaped public perceptions and justified militarized responses.
The book is influential in Spanish-language scholarship on Mexico's drug war and remains a key reference for understanding transnational security dynamics.
Astorga's position at UNAM and sustained research make this a foundational text for scholars of narcotrafficking and state violence.
