Since 2006, Mexico has militarized its "state of war on drugs," backed by the United States. Examination of this drug state of war from a disquisitional political economic angle suggests that the neoliberal reforms implemented in Mexico over the past several decades have increased the size of the drug manufacture and that drug war rhetoric facilitates the containment of popular opposition to neoliberal policies. U.S. pop culture has contributed to legitimizing the drug war and making information technology more acceptable to the U.Due south. public. An analysis of selected movies, television series, and a video game shows that the themes presented in these productions are very similar to those conveyed by U.S. regime officials and mainstream analysts. Indeed, popular culture letters reverberate elite views of U.S. strange policy because the media-entertainment manufacture is itself part of the corporate establishment. Desde 2006, México, con el apoyo de los Estados Unidos, ha militarizado su "guerra contra el narcotráfico." Una crítica de esta guerra contra el narco de un punto de vista político-económico sugiere que las reformas neoliberales implementadas en México durante ya varias décadas han agrandado la industria de estupefacientes, y que la retórica de la guerra contra el narco facilita la contención de la oposición popular que se opone a la política neoliberal. Mientras tanto, en los Estados Unidos, la cultura popular ha contribuido a legitimar y hacer más aceptable la guerra contra el narco. United nations análisis de películas y serial de televisión seleccionadas, más united nations juego de video, muestra que los temas presentados en estas producciones son muy parecidos a los difundidos por oficiales del gobierno de Estados Unidos y analistas convencionales. De hecho, los mensajes de la cultura popular reflejan las perspectivas de la élite con respecto a la política exterior de los Estados Unidos porque los mismos medios de entretenimiento forman parte del establecimiento corporativo.
