Specifikacia The Rise of the Narcostate Bunker Robert J.
This book is our sixth Small Wars Journal-El Centro anthology, covering writings published between 2016 and 2017. The theme of this anthology pertains to the rise of the narcostate (mafia states) as a result of the collusion between criminal organizations and political elites-essentially authoritarian regime members, corrupted plutocrats, and other powerful societal elements. The cover image of the mass demonstration concerning the disappearance of the forty-three Ayotzinapa Teachers' College students held at Mexico City's Z calo Plaza in November 2014 provides an archetype of this anthology's theme. This anthology includes the following special essays-Preface: "New Wars" and State Transformation by Robert Muggah, Igarap Institute; Foreword: Crime and State-Making by Vanda Felbab-Brown, The Brookings Institution; Postscript: Crime, Drugs, Terror, and Money: Time for Hybrids by Alain
