mexico’s geographic location has played largely in the development of the country’s role in organized crime and drug trafficking. not only is mexico adjacent to the world’s largest illegal drug market – the united states – but it also borders central and south america, the latter being a region of nations with a similarly high demand for drugs. this positions mexican drug cartels at an advantage; demand for drugs is not simply confined to the mexican state, but rather it extends to several other nearby countries. because of this, mexico’s borders are especially crucial to drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations (tcos), which can exploit the borders as a passageway for contraband and as a method for consolidation of power.
