Pew Global Attitudes Project: "... fewer than half (45%) of Mexicans say their government is making progress in its campaign against drug cartels; 29% say the government is losing ground and 25% say things are about the same as they have been in the past.
Still, an overwhelming majority (83%) continues to endorse the use of the Mexican army to fight drug traffickers, virtually unchanged in recent years. Moreover, many welcome U.S. help in training Mexican police and military personnel (74%) and providing money and weapons to Mexican police and military forces (64%)."
The Americas MexicoBlog of the CIP Americas Program chronicles and analyzes reports from the U.S. and Mexican press regarding the consequences for Mexico of the U.S. War on Drugs. The blog also focuses on the central struggle within Mexico to strengthen the rule of law and its justice system and to protect human rights. Economic integration promoted by NAFTA and relevant political developments in both countries are also covered.
