MEXSEC: Mexican Security 2014

International criminal networks use Mexico and the sub-region as a key hub for the distribution, wholesale, and production of illicit drugs and smuggling in weapons from across the northern border. This threatens to reverse the remarkable progress made in economic development over the past decade. The proceeds of organized crime fuels corruption allowing drug cartels to co-opt or buy political power creating an existential threat to the prosperity of the people of Mexico while creating challenges for law enforcement.
