Consistent with theories of distributive politics and with Wilkinson's important finding of the partisan use of police forces to control inter-religious violence in India, we have provided extensive evidence of the partisan use of law enforcement in Mexico's War on Drugs -of the political incentives that led Mexico's president to deploy federal forces to protect his subnational co-partisans facing major surges in inter-cartel violence but to punish and leave unprotected his enemies facing similar conditions.
En concordancia con las teorías redistributivas y con el importante hallazgo de Wilkinson sobre el uso partidista de las fuerzas policiales para controlar la violencia entre grupos religiosos en India, en este artículo hemos brindado vasta evidencia sobre el uso partidista de la aplicación de la ley en la guerra contra las drogas en México.
