Abstract

Abstract:Decades of mano dura—or "iron fist"—experiments in Latin America suggest that hard-on-crime policies are likely to fail. Yet in El Salvador, a crackdown launched by President Nayib Bukele in 2022 successfully dismantled the country's gangs, turning "the Bukele model" into one of the most influential political brands in the region. This essay argues that this crackdown succeeded not only because of its intensity, but also because of the (unintended) consequences of a pact between the gangs and the Bukele government. As ongoing crackdowns in Honduras and Ecuador suggest, efforts to emulate the Bukele model are likely to fail—and come at a high cost for democracy, security, and human rights.

布凯尔模式：它能推广开来吗？

摘要：拉丁美洲数十年的 "铁腕 "实验表明，严厉打击犯罪的政策很可能会失败。然而，在萨尔瓦多，纳伊布-布凯莱总统于2022年发起的镇压行动成功摧毁了该国的帮派，使 "布凯莱模式 "成为该地区最有影响力的政治品牌之一。本文认为，这次镇压行动之所以成功，不仅是因为其力度，还因为帮派与布克勒政府之间的协议（意外）产生了后果。洪都拉斯和厄瓜多尔正在进行的镇压行动表明，效仿布凯莱模式的努力很可能会失败--而且要为民主、安全和人权付出高昂的代价。
