- Abstract
- The author reviews Western Hemisphere’s drug mafia interactions and evolution during the last 25 years, including Colombian cartels and guerilla, as well as Central American transporters. This article is intended to explain how Mexican cartels gained their current position in the Pan American drug business, how that led to a wave of violence within and beyond Mexico’s borders and what measures are being taken by the concerned states in regards to this problem.
