Summary:

This book examines the intersection of organized crime, corruption, and migration in Central America and Mexico, with a focus on the displacement crisis caused by criminal violence. It explores the role of organized criminal groups in driving internal and external migration, the impact of state policies such as Mexico's Plan Frontera Sur, and the vulnerabilities faced by migrants during transit. Using a critical realist framework, the author analyzes the structural factors contributing to displacement, the agency of migrants, and the implications of state corruption and impunity. The work also provides insights into the broader academic debates on forced migration, human rights, and policy outcomes. Generated by AI.
