This book, part of the renowned Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series, delves deep into the conflict between drug cartels and states in Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil. By examining the consequences of state crackdowns on cartels, the book uncovers the complex interplay of violence, corruption, and state-building aims.

As you turn each page, you'll discover the shocking truth behind cartels' relentless fight against the state. Unlike traditional conflicts, cartels don't seek to topple or secede from the state. Their motivations lie deeper, intertwined with power struggles, territorial control, and their very survival. Through careful research and analysis, this book unveils the reasons behind the emergence and persistence of cartel-state conflicts.

What sets this study apart is its focus on the effectiveness of different state crackdown strategies. Rather than relying solely on brute-force repression, the book argues that imposing conditions on repression can be a game-changer. By targeting cartel violence specifically, policymakers can deter and even curtail cartel-state conflict. However, the intricate politics surrounding the drug war make the implementation of such policies challenging and fragile.
