Drugs, Trafficking, and the Imaginary of War

Michel Kokoreff, sociologist, highlights the failure of the government’s strategy to fight the traffic of drugs in urban areas. These politics intensify the tension while drugs continue to enter massively on the national territory. Research needs to continue investigations on local businesses but also to conduct investigation on more professionalized forms of traffic and social networks in cities. These investigations could help the international community to define a common and sustainable political line and to consider, in producing countries, alternative development models.
