Evade, Corrupt, or Confront? Organized Crime and the State in Brazil and Mexico

John Bailey, Matthew M. Taylor · 1 Aug 2009

Government and organized criminal groups co-exist in uneasy equilibrium.

Building upon resource-based theories of party configuration, we contend that in developing countries,…

Measuring Variance in Subnational Regimes: Results from an Expert-Based Operationalization of Democracy in the Argentine Provinces

Carlos Gervasoni · 1 Aug 2010
