Zusammenfassung
For students and researchers in Latin American politics, with a focus on violence, post-civil war dynamics, state reform/capacity and illicit economies, this is the first comparative book to explain and analyze the striking and varied homicide rates in Latin America, alongside a systematic analysis of three post-civil war cases.

Latin America has among the world's highest homicide rates. The author analyzes the illicit organizations, complicit and weak states, and territorial competition that generate today's violent homicidal ecologies.
