1. 1. Los Zetas Inc.

   Criminal Corporations, Energy, and Civil War in Mexico

   

   A detailed, research-based account that traces the emergence and evolution of a violent Mexican criminal organization into a corporate-style enterprise, analyzing its internal structure, economic strategies, and transnational networks. The book explores how the group diversified into both illicit and legitimate markets, exploited cross-border flows and local institutions, and reshaped everyday life and security on the U.S.–Mexico border. Drawing on interviews, official records, and fieldwork, it assesses the broader social, economic, and policy implications of organized crime’s commercialization and transnationalization.
