Using the Narcotrafico Threat to Build Public Administration Capacity between the US and Mexico

This book collects chapters written by leading experts working in the trenches of U.S.-Mexico policy issues. Topics covered include immigration, drug flow and conflict, gun-running, money-laundering, and the economic and cultural impacts on both sides. The book shows how the current situation of drug trafficking and violence, on top of the other existing perceptions and conditions, create a real opportunity for the U.S. to build relationships with its Mexican counterparts at state, local, national, and NGO levels.
