The terrorism debate over Mexican drug trafficking violence/ 
Phil Williams 
 -  2012 
<br/><br/> Violence in Mexico related to drug trafficking has expanded enormously, and observers have begun using terms like terrorism, nacro-terrorism and criminal insurgency to label the violence. However arguments that Mexico is the victim of growing terrorism are both exaggerated and unconvincing. While there have been many murders of innocent civilians, these killings do not seem to have been motivated by a political, ideological, or religious cause. This analysis seeks to understand the nature of the expanding violence in Mexico.
