Abstract

This article presents the results of an investigation about forced displacement in Mexico's northeastern region-bordering the United States-where many municipalities have been affected by violence and depopulation in the past two decades (2000-2020), in the context of a so-called "drug war." From a critical perspective, the study is based on a quantitative methodology using spatial and statistical analysis to try to link forced displacement-caused by criminal violence-and the presence of important hydrocarbon deposits in the region. The main finding is that the most affected municipalities by violence are located precisely in the Burgos Basin area, which has the largest shale gas reserves in the country. The evidence gathered suggests that forced displacement in these municipalities may respond to a strategic development logic where criminal violence operates for ends that transcend it and are geopolitical in nature.

毒品战争之外：墨西哥东北部的暴力、强迫流离失所和页岩气（2000-2020）。

本文介绍了一项关于墨西哥东北部与美国接壤地区被迫流离失所的调查结果，在过去二十年（2000-2020年），在所谓的“毒品战争”背景下，该地区的许多城市都受到了暴力和人口减少的影响，该研究基于一种定量方法，使用空间和统计分析，试图将犯罪暴力造成的强迫流离失所与该地区重要碳氢化合物矿床的存在联系起来。主要发现是，受暴力影响最严重的城市恰恰位于布尔戈斯盆地地区，该地区拥有全国最大的页岩气储量。收集到的证据表明，这些城市的强迫流离失所可能是对一种战略发展逻辑的回应，在这种逻辑中，犯罪暴力的目的超越了它，具有地缘政治性质。补充信息：在线版本包含补充材料，网址为10.1007/s10611-023-10095-w。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
