| Sumario: | In recent decades, a significant growth of multiple illegal markets has been observed in Latin America. Research that addresses these contexts, where illegality prevails, tends to negatively classify the State as absent, weak, or failed, associating the State with the guardian of the legal and the criminals as representatives of the illegal and the immoral. In this article, we aim to approach a perspective more in line with the real functioning of the State regarding illegal markets. To this end, we propose to analyze the ways in which it connects with criminal groups in Latin America from two dimensions. First, we examine the modalities that the State’s regulation of illegal markets assumes, either through the application of the law or outside its framework. Likewise, we account for the ways in which it coexists and competes with criminal groups, often giving rise to what we can refer to as hybrid social orders. For these purposes, we will draw on various recent theoretical developments that contribute to complicating the reductionist view that exists regarding the State and illegal markets. |
