Abstract
ARIAS HENAO, Diana Patricia. COOPTATION AND RESTITUTION OF GEOSTRATEGIC LANDS IN COLOMBIA AND MEXICO THROUGH THE TRANSNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION OF COMMUNITIES IDENTIFIED WITH DRUG TRAFFICKING. Prolegómenos [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.38, pp.77-95. ISSN 0121-182X. https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.1971.

States to compare the threat: Colombia and Mexico. The methodology is comparative and, as main outcome, it is measured the one of the communities identified with drug trafficking and its related contraband markets, which underpin on the illicit transnational relationship of drug trafficking networks with State ties strengthened through cooptation of political and security systems. The Caribbean region is the geostrategic enclave for narcotics trade: production and wholesale trade area, and place of distribution through violent patterns, a kind of narco-incoterms.
