CIENCIA POLÍTICA

 Sheinbaum and the Mickey Mouse Ears Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Perhaps it is due to the pressure exerted by the United States, given the risk of an economic crisis of historic proportions due to exclusion from the North American dynamic. However, President Claudia Sheinbaum is beginning to establish a decision-making process that distances herself from her predecessor. It is true that Yankee demands regarding national security may violate the powers that be in Mexico; however, the trade balance weighs more heavily, and above all, interaction with the United States. Therefore, the Mexican government must abide by Donald Trump's dictates. The idea of ​​North America, as Robert Pastor and Alain Rouquie pointed out, is a fatal destiny for Mexico. It is impossible to pursue a radical separation after long decades in which government and society in our country conceded productive structures, markets, and labor. It is complicated to reverse the processes of an integration that, due...

 Drug Trafficking. A Mexico-United States Bilateral Treaty Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The Mexican state's capacity to control drug trafficking is increasingly diminishing, and increasing social anomie is manifested by rising violence and corruption. Despite the White House's pressure on our country with tariffs and even military intervention, Mexican governance in terms of national security is simply weak. Mexico's capacity to combat drug trafficking is historically insufficient; it lacks the institutional capacity to reduce the power of the cartels or to capture the members of the various criminal networks. The institutions of the Mexican political system must allow the United States to take charge of controlling drug trafficking by allowing its members to enter the country. Just as during the Second French Intervention, liberal Mexicans turned to the Americans to contain the strength of the conservative monarchists, now the drug trafficking situation may provide a b...

 US Assistance to Combat Drugs in Mexico Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The drug phenomenon is reflected in other circumstances of the North American and Asian economic geopolitics that Mexico is experiencing. As with other products, Mexico serves as a springboard for entry into the North American market. The gravitational pull that the United States exerts on our country is inevitable, causing various elements to atomize and centrifuge toward the United States. Mexico lacks the consumer capacity developed in the North American economy, and therefore, most formal and informal trade lies hidden in Mexico, waiting to enter the United States. Producers and suppliers establish themselves in Mexico with empowerment and build opportunities to leapfrog over American consumerism. As long as the demand and prices of the most diverse types of contraband are not regulated in the United States, informality will continue to become a key attraction that makes governability in Mexico unsustaina...

 The Geopolitical Dilemma of Mexican Drug Trafficking Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero George Friedman seems increasingly accurate in his analysis of the necessary confrontation between Mexico and the United States over drug trafficking. The war predicted by Friedman in 2080 will not be waged by Mexico and the United States as state entities; the fight will be between guerrilla groups representing economic interests and national identities. The overwhelming discovery of hundreds of clandestine graves and extermination camps in our country, as well as the level of violence reached by the war on drugs, force us to envision scenarios of coexistence and cohabitation between drug trafficking fiefdoms and the United States, averting a prolonged guerrilla war disguised as a fight against terrorism. Until now, Mexican drug trafficking groups have been supplied with weapons by American companies; But, after the White House has designated the cartels as terrorists, it's worth asking how thes...

 The Trumpist Security Strategy in Mexico Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Although the ultimate purpose of the national security policy built on Donald Trump's demands and regional demands is still under debate, the truth is that important changes are being perceived. The actions of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the Ministry of Security are affecting the intermediate levels of some organized crime sectors. Narco-politicians have begun to fall, and this is important, especially because the groups leading the low-intensity war in Mexico can reduce their violence if the influence of politicians who manipulate conflicts to their advantage is limited; or, alternatively, they represent the apex of power in certain entities. The Mexican State has been forced to implement measures to control organized crime in accordance with North American interests; however, there are other problems that affect the civilian population and are outside the Trumpist sphere. Claudia Sheinbaum...

 Colonialist Geopolitics Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Donald Trump behaves like Kaiser Wilhelm II of the Hohenzollern dynasty regarding the global territorial division; his megalomania only meant the preamble to greater damage. Pan-Germanism was not inhibited by the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it became radicalized until it reached the hell of the Second World War. Wilhelm II was the facade of Adolf Hitler. What will follow after Donald Trump? Understanding the primitivism of the Trumpist elite that governs the White House can shed light on the prospects of the new world order. Although it is said that Eurasia represents the new axis of global control where Donald Trump represents the Russian doll, the truth is that the Anglo-Saxon and neoliberal plutocrats can hardly be dominated as happened with the oligarchs under the aegis of Vladimir Putin; the silovik nomenklatura cannot control the world even if it tries to. The realism of force is absolute in the present...

 The Intermarium and the European Wars Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Although the narrative of Western civilization indicates that it enjoys stability and control over the world, it is also true that it presents cleavages and conditions of confrontation that have ended up generating chaos. Modernity has not been an easy conquest for the West either; on the contrary, the origin of the First and Second World Wars lies in the imperialism that ensnares most of the European countries. The conflicts that derive from this ancient practice characterize the testimony of pain and resentment that feeds history. An example of this is the fracture between Europe and Eurasia as a trigger for serious conflicts that continue to take the lives of millions of human beings. In this context, one of the aspects of European imperialism that fuels the civilizing conflict lies in the attempt of Catholic nationalism to impose itself against the Slavic and Baltic elements of European multiculturalism. Th...
