Activity: Talk or presentation › Contributed talk › unknown

Description

In recent debates, the militarization process in Mexico is analysed above all with regard to the increasing number of the armed forces in public space. In contrast, I argue that militarization is a process which is far more complex, comprising both political and cultural dimensions. Its main aspect consists of being a strategy of social control.
