The author argues that the Merida Initiative, a U.S. multiyear counterdrug program designed to help the Mexican Government fight the drug cartels, may not be the optimal solution. Instead the United States must forge a more creative and encompassing approach. The author asserts that this strategy should combine interdiction and enforcement initiatives with an array of social, economic, political, and U.S. domestic programs to create a broad effort that attacks the drug trade from all sides.

The author addresses the multifaceted nature and predominant role of gangs operating as state and non-state proxies in the global security environment. He examines examples of contemporary populism and neo-populism, 21st century socialists, and a non-state actor (al-Qaeda) seeking regional and global hegemony. The lessons he derives from these cases demonstrate how gangs might fit into a holistic effort to force radical political-social-economic change, and illustrate how traditional political-military objectives may be achieved indirectly.
