Cartels and Police Reform: Challenges for the New Mexican President

Join us for a talk by Rodrigo Canales, Kelli Questrom Associate Professor in Management & Organizations at BU’s Questrom School of Business and faculty director of Questrom’s Social Impact Program.

Prof. Canales’s work explores how individuals’ backgrounds, professional identities, and organizational positions affect how they relate to existing structures and the strategies they pursue to change them. He has done work in entrepreneurial finance and microfinance, as well as in the institutional implications of the Mexican war on drugs. His current research is divided in three streams. The first focuses on the structural determinants of the quality of startup employment. The second explores the conditions under which development policies and practices integrate rigorous evidence. The third, with generous support from the Merida Initiative, explores how to build effective, resilient, and trusted police organizations in Mexico.
