BOJORQUEZ-LUQUE, Jesús; ANGELES, Manuel  e  E. GAMEZ, Alba. Video Surveillance and Space Segregation in the Times of Authoritarian Neoliberalism. The Case of Los Cabos, Baja California Sur (México). CS [online]. 2020, n.31, pp.217-242. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i31.3668.

In a context of acute spatial segregation derived from beaches’ privatization processes and the coastal landscape in the Los Cabos Tourist Corridor (Baja California Sur, Mexico), the state government has responded to the threat of organized crime to the functioning of international hotel chains with video surveillance schemes and the criminalization of acts considered to be against tourist interests in the area. This paper uses the concepts of authoritarian neoliberalism associated with a type of space production to analyze the phenomenon of video surveillance in a context of conflicts and social tensions under the auspices of the tourism growth model in Los Cabos region. A qualitative methodology was used, relying on field work by observing the study area, analysis of relevant bibliography, and press reports.
