Criminal organizations as subjects of non-classical wars and a threat to the state sovereignty of Mexico

Military-political aims in non-classical wars are achieved without the use of armed forces or with their limited use. Criminal insurgencies are a form of nonclassical wars in which criminal organizations are the main subjects on a par with states. The situation in Mexico is an example of a criminal insurgency. The fragmentation and networkization of criminal organizations contributes to their evolution which poses a threat to the national security of Mexico.
