Drugs and War: Modeling Elements

Par : Type de matériel : TexteTexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2003. Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The relationship between drugs and war is well established throughout history, but its importance became particularly significant during the Cold War. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, drugs have become more popular and have increasingly influenced wars in localised areas. Because of this development, it is now possible to modelise this relationship. Its specificity arises from the modalities of drug trafficking, and in particular the “upward profit spiral” whereby armed groups become involved at every level of the drug industry cycle, whether at the drug refinement phase or by removing obstacles along drug supply routes between production areas and consumer markets. A study of conflicts involving Colombian guerrillas, the Afghan Taliban and other insurgents suggests that armed groups in production areas take advantage of their ability to defend drug producers to move into the drug distribution system and that they tend to become involved in drug trafficking rather than farming. In so doing, they run the risk of becoming as “mere” criminals, a fate they share with the forces of law and order.
