Su autor, Juan Carlos Garzón Vergara, describe cómo se organiza la rebelión del delito en la región, a partir de cambios sustanciales que posicionan a las redes delictivas “como uno de los actores estratégicos relevantes del hemisferio, reconfigurando las fronteras territoriales, teniendo un papel importante en la economía, penetrando las estructuras políticas y sociales y poniendo en juego los avances alcanzados en la construcción del Estado y el sistema democrático.”
