A deep historical analysis reveals that cartel activity in Mexico is a symptom of a broader problem, dating back to the colonial era. The legacy of colonialism and neoliberal economic policies has created a power vacuum that cartels have exploited to maintain their influence.
The sudden resignation of the Mexican governor highlights the entrenched corruption and influence of cartels in Mexican politics.
By recognizing the historical and structural causes of cartel activity, we can develop more effective solutions to the problem. A comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of poverty, inequality, and lack of economic opportunities, strengthens institutions and governance, promotes inclusive and participatory approaches, and develops a comprehensive approach to addressing cartel activity is necessary to mitigate the risks of inaction and promote more sustainable and equitable development.
