虽然墨西哥被广泛认为是巩固国家地位的典范，但与毒品有关的暴力和不安全的加深证实了由犯罪和政治利益驱动的国家和非国家行为者联盟所统治的“黑暗空间”的存在和扩大。与流行的解释和公共叙事相反，我认为，仅仅从犯罪组织的扩散和所谓的禁毒战争的加剧来理解这种有限国家地位的表达，在历史上和概念上都是有缺陷的。相反，我将研究墨西哥国家决策的历史模式，在这种模式中，国家以外的政治秩序的行为者和实践，严格地说，行使多种形式的事实上的主权和治理。这些安排，包括caciquismo，适应不同的犯罪治理表现。文章通过查看不同时期和地区的例子，如锡那罗亚、索诺拉和米却肯州，证实了其主张。
While Mexico is widely considered as an example of consolidated statehood, the deepening of drug-related violence and insecurity has corroborated the existence and expansion of ‘dark spaces’ governed by coalitions of state and non-state actors driven by criminal and political interests. In contrast to the prevailing interpretations and public narratives, I will argue that it is historically and conceptually flawed to understand such expressions of limited statehood solely in terms of the proliferation of criminal organisations and the exacerbation of the so-called war on drugs only. Instead, I will examine the historical patterns in Mexican state-making, in which actors and practices of political ordering outside the state properly speaking exercise multiple forms of de facto sovereignty and governance. These arrangements, including caciquismo, accommodate distinct crime-governance manifestations. The article substantiates its claims by looking at the examples from different periods and regions such as Sinaloa, Sonora and Michoacán.
