Abstract
As the 21st century unfolds, Afghanistan
finds itself in a profound socio-economic
crisis. It is one in which the illegal
drug trade and insurgency plays a very
complex and important role.
According to the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC),
the global dynamics of the illicit opiates
market “are not well understood” – and
the same can be said of south west Asia’s
transforming narcotics industry. All the
attention given to Afghanistan’s poppy
problem obscures the rapidly growing
distribution, trade and production of
other narcotics in the region.
