| Title Proper | Transforming Mexico’s energy field: the intended consequences of a drug war |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Correa-Cabrera, Guadalupe |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | By utilizing the theory of Strategic Action Fields (SAFs), the present article explains how a new meso-level social order seems to have emerged in Mexico as a result of the paramilitarization of organized crime, militarization of security, and the opening of Mexico’s energy sector to private investment. This work describes the transformation of Mexico’s energy field after a process of major constitutional and economic changes that were the consequence of a security crisis and an agenda of energy reform for which the so-called ‘drug war’ was a key underlying foundation. |
