TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Insecurity and violence as a new power relation in Latin America JO - Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science A1 - Magaly, S SP - 178 EP - 195 VL - 606 IS - 1 N2 - This article shows the growing activities related to the existence of three types of urban violence: the structural violence inherent in the existing social inequalities in Latino American countries, radical violence, and criminal violence. Neoliberal policies generate more inequality, exclusion, poverty, and alienation, which yield a rising tide of criminal and radical violence, which triggers more state violence and coercion, which, in turn, encourages more resistance from below. Violence and security have become a key link in the economic arena characterizing the Latin American metropolis.
