But while media fascination and academic engagement has focussed on the drug war, an equally dangerous phenomenon has taken root. In \u003cem\u003eThe Punitive City\u003c\/em\u003e, Markus-Michael Müller argues that what has emerged in Mexico is not just a punitive urban democracy, in which those at the social and political margins face growing violence and exclusion. More alarmingly, it would seem that clientelism in the region is morphing into a private, political protection racket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVital reading for anyone seeking to understand the implications of a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly widespread across Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus-Michael Muller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783606975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783606979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Markus-Michael Muller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47305407037695,"sku":"9781783606979","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b66e29d8-95ce-4285-89ec-e45717c03196.jpg?v=1758830793","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-punitive-city-markus-michael-muller-9781783606979","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
