Abstract:
"In Armed Actors, Latin Americanist scholars explore the recent evidence relating to the ways in which partial state failure in the continent is interacting with new types of organized violence, thereby undermining the process of democratic consolidation that has characterized Latin America over the past two decades. Case studies from Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil and other countries, including El Salvador, show that this 'new violence' stems from a heterogeneous variety of social actors including drug mafias, peasant militias and urban gangs (collectively referred to as actores armadas), as well as from state-related actors like the police, military intelligence agencies and paramilitary forces."--BOOK JACKET.
