Abstract
MOLOEZNIK, Marcos Pablo and SUAREZ DE GARAY, María Eugenia. The militarization process of the public security in Mexico (2006-2010). Frontera norte [online]. 2012, vol.24, n.48, pp.121-144. ISSN 2594-0260.
This paper seeks to describe the consolidation of the militarization of public security in Mexico, during the first four years of the administration led by President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012). Although this is not a new state response to the challenge of organized crime, during the second-generation transition government, the involvement of the armed forces has reached a peak, spreading to the sphere of the states through the designation of military men as public security secretariats.
Keywords : public security; military men; police; militarization of public security; Mexico.
