Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
This article analyzes the mutual relationship of dependency between civil society and narco cartels in Tierra Caliente, focusing on civilian experiences in Michoacan, Guerrero and el Estado de México.

This essay recognizes not only the political influence of the community but also their ways of political mobilization. Additionally, this essay acknowledges how the younger generations stray away from the hardline perspective of their Cuban elders. To conduct this research, …
