The threat posed by public insecurity in Latin America has led many of the governments affected by this problem to resort to militarization policies. In the case of Mexico, the government created the National Guard to pacify the country. The purpose of this article is to answer the question why, despite the arguments and positions of different national and international actors, the Federal Administration in Mexico (2018-2024) decided to create a National Guard to combat and reduce the rates of violence? The study uses an explanatory method and bases on information from the World Bank, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the Brazilian Public Security Forum, the World Prision Brief, the Global Peace Index, and the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP). The theory of public policies in democracy allows to explain the importance of the development of the latter to understand the design and results of the former. The cases of Brazil and Colombia, countries that have resorted to militarization strategies (but with different results), where the variable has been military spending, are taken as reference. In that area, Mexico is well below the two countries mentioned. |

La amenaza que representa la inseguridad pública en América Latina ha conllevado que muchos de los gobiernos asolados por ella recurran a las políticas de militarización. En el caso de México, el gobierno creó la Guardia Nacional para pacificar el país. El objetivo del artículo es responder la pregunta ¿por qué, pese a los argumentos y posturas de diferentes actores nacionales e internacionales, la Administración Federal en México (2018-2024) decidió crear una Guardia Nacional para combatir y reducir los índices de violencia? El estudio emplea un método explicativo y utiliza información del Banco Mundial, el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI), el Fórum Brasileño de Seguridad Pública, World Prision Brief, el Índice de Paz Global, y el Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública (SESNSP). La teoría de las políticas públicas en democracia permite explicar la importancia del desarrollo de esta última para comprender el diseño y los resultados de las primeras. Se toman como referencia los casos de Brasil y Colombia, países que han recurrido a estrategias de militarización (pero con resultados distintos), donde la variable ha sido el gasto militar. En ese ámbito, México está muy por debajo de los dos países aludidos.
