Is Mexico a "Failed State"? Jaque

Hillary Clinton just say no. In his recent visit to that country recognized - in part, its liability should be the United States in the security crisis that has led the fight in the Mexican state against the drug cartels.

The much touted "war" that the security forces and army employers are losing against drug trafficking and private armies, funded through the laundering of money made through the international financial system "legal" and weapons "legal" to buy freely across the Rio Grande, in the very States together.

This mea culpa official Washington - with appreciation including being the main consumer market - comes with the usual military aid, which produced such disastrous results in Colombia. If one can speak of a success of the "war on drugs" held in that country South America, is that drove the business - without removing it - to Central America and Mexico.

And is that globalization is at the root of the problem. Since the weakening of political systems and state regulation of the economy resulted in an increase in poverty, and strengthening the criminal organizations. Both feed off each other. Customers and employees of the Mafia and drug cartels are recruited in large numbers among the poor. States unable to secure employment, education and health, along with security forces and corrupt political systems and accomplices did the rest.

Mexico is a very didactic example of the effects on a relatively developed economy produces the complete deregulation and unrestricted opening to foreign capital, in parallel with the disintegration of traditional social and political representation - without emerge that replace-new, making it worse by elites whose sights are set exclusively in their private businesses. Not daring to ask to be even a "commonwealth" is subordinate to the northern neighbor uncritically.

will not millions of U.S. dollars in logistics and supply weapons that will defeat the drug cartels, but a total and profound renewal of political and social structures of the Mexican state.
