| description | This article analyzes the differences in the use of violence related to illegal drug markets between sub-national units of the same country. The objective is to put under discussion the spread argument held by many scholars that claims that political variables, such as party turnover and political competition at the subnational level, affect the levels of drug-related violence as a consequence of the breakdown of the state protection networks to these markets. Starting with the literature that addresses the relation between illegal markets and violence, cases of the Argentinean provinces of Buenos Aires and Santa Fe during the 2007-2018 period are analyzed, through triangulation between official statistics, press documents and secondary sources. In this sense, it is concluded that the argument sustained for other countries of the region that links party turnover and the increase of political competition with differences in drug related violence is not suitable to analyze the Argentinean case. Consequently, explanations have to be searched, considering a different kind of variables that account for subnational contexts. |

The objective is to put under discussion the spread argument held by many scholars that claims that political variables, such as party turnover and political competition at the subnational level, affect the levels of drug-related violence as a consequence of the breakdown of the state protection networks to these markets. Starting with the literature that addresses the relation between illegal markets and violence, cases of the Argentinean provinces of Buenos Aires and Santa Fe during the 2007-2018 period are analyzed, through triangulation between official statistics, press documents and secondary sources. In this sense, it is concluded that the argument sustained for other countries of the region that links party turnover and the increase of political competition with differences in drug related violence is not suitable to analyze the Argentinean case.

El presente artículo analiza las diferencias en la utilización de la violencia relacionada con los mercados ilegales de drogas entre unidades subnacionales de un mismo país. El objetivo es poner en discusión el argumento sostenido por parte de la literatura académica que postula que ciertas variables políticas, como la rotación partidaria y el incremento en la competencia política a escala subnacional, afectan los niveles de violencia asociada con el mercado ilegal de drogas, como consecuencia de la ruptura de las redes de protección estatales a dichos mercados. Partiendo de la literatura que aborda la relación entre violencia y mercados ilegales, se analizan los casos de las provincias argentinas de Buenos Aires y Santa Fe durante el período 2007-2018 con base en una triangulación entre estadísticas oficiales, artículos periodísticos y fuentes secundarias. Se sostiene que la hipótesis formulada para otros países de la región, que vincula la rotación partidaria y el incremento de la competencia política con las diferencias en la utilización de la violencia relacionada con el mercado ilegal de estupefacientes no resulta aplicable al caso argentino, por lo que las explicaciones deben buscarse en función de otro tipo de variables que tengan en cuenta los contextos subnacionales. O presente artigo analisa as diferenças existentes entre a utilização da violência relacionada aos mercados ilegais de drogas entre unidades subnacionais do mesmo país. O objetivo é trazer à discussão o difundido argumento sustentado por parte da literatura acadêmica que postula que as variáveis do tipo político, como uma alternância partidária e o incremento na competência política a nível subnacional, afetam os níveis de violência associada ao mercado ilegal de drogas, como consequência da ruptura das redes de proteção estatais aos mencionados mercados. Partindo da literatura que aborda a relação entre violência e mercados ilegais, são analisados os casos dos estados argentinos de Buenos Aires e Santa Fé durante o período 2007-2018, utilizando como metodologia a análise documental de estatísticas oficiais, artigos jornalísticos e fontes secundárias. Nesse sentido, defendo que as hipóteses formuladas para outros países da região, que vinculam a rotação partidária e o incremento da competência política com as diferenças na utilização da violência relacionada ao mercado ilegal de entorpecentes, não são aplicáveis ao caso argentino, já que as explicações devem se dar em função de outro tipo de variáveis que levem em consideração contextos subnacionais.
