In order to do so, this process will be analyzed from a securitization framework because it will show the divergences between the discourses of these two actors, mainly through the establishment of five variables: the context, the securitizing actors, the referent object, the threat and the reaction to this last one. At the end, the differences between the conceptions and strategies from both actors will be useful tounderstand the audience’s varied behaviors, the organized crime’s competing social imaginaries and the actions undertook by the federal government. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar los movimientos de securitización en torno al crimen organizado, sobre todo cuando hay dos actores que lo gestionan simultáneamente; debido a ello, se ha decidido partir del caso mexicano, particularmente en el contexto de la zona de Michoacán, donde los grupos de autodefensa competían –pero al mismo tiempo colaboraban– con el gobierno federal. Ante tal finalidad, el estudio de este proceso se enmarca dentro de un enfoque de securitización que permita contrastar los discursos de ambos actores a través de la instrumentalización de cinco variables: el contexto, los actores securitizadores, el objeto referente, la amenaza, así como la respuesta hacia la misma. Al finalizar, las diferencias entre las concepciones y estrategias de ambos serán útiles para entender las distintas respuestas de la audiencia, la lucha entre imaginarios sociales sobre el crimen organizado y el emprendimiento de determinadas acciones por parte del gobierno federal.
