Resumen:

There have been many critics of the way the Mexican government has confronted the problems related to drug market regulation but just a few of those critics have focused on the legacy of different institutions and the development of local powers such as the figure of the caciques. This chapter provides a critique of the so-called ?war on drugs? from an institutionalist perspective which considers the existing tensions in Mexico between the formal legal order and the informal institutions that really prevail in the country. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
