Mladá, Pavlína ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Werner, Jan (referee)
Mexico is facing a complicated problem of not only a drug production, but also being labelled the position of the most significant transit country for the drug commerce from South America to the USA.

The next goal is to define the security situation in Mexico during the period and to compare the remedies of the Mexican presidents.
