CORREA-CABRERA, Guadalupe. Seguridad y migración en las fronteras de México: diagnóstico y recomendaciones de política y cooperación regional. Migr. desarro [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.22, pp.147-171. ISSN 1870-7599.

This article presents an analysis of Mexico's two borders -the Mexico-US border and the southern border (Mexico-Central America)- with regards to drug trafficking, violence related to organized crime, undocumented migration, and migrant smuggling. It also provides a brief account and assessment of the policies that have been recently implemented with the aim of solving these problems. This comparative analysis is used as a starting point to elaborate recommendations of policies that the United States, Mexico, and Central American governments should implement in order to strengthen human security as well as regional cooperation in these areas. This article concludes by asserting that the main problems regarding border security in these two regions of the hemisphere would only be solved through the close cooperation between the nations involved and the design of effective human development policies.
