This Wednesday a former UChicago PhD student now teaching at the University of Notre Dame -Guillemo Trejo- will be presenting a co-authored paper that looks very interesting (especially for those interested in the topic of organized crime and violence in Mexico). The paper’s title is “Votes, Drugs, and Violence. Subnational Democratization and the Onset of Inter-Cartel Wars in Mexico, 1995-2006”. Manuel Cabal will be the discussant.

I will send a copy of the paper to our mailing list tomorrow morning.
