There is an increasing number of efforts seeking to tally the "costs" of the "war on drugs". Little attention has been paid to the many legal reforms and institutional changes - in design and orientation - that countries have adopted in order to better repress drug markets, and the impact that these changes have had on the constitutional regimes of nations.
In his lecture, Dr. Madrazo Lajous (Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, CIDE) will offer an analytic apparatus designed to render visible the "constitutional costs" of the War on Drugs and present Mexico as a starting case study for this kind of analysis. The purpose is to further develop the concepts and categories proposed so that comparative work can be done between countries.
