Political and Social issues around narcotics trafficking
There has been a widespread and extensive exchange of narcotics in the markets these
days. It is quite common for people and even children or teenagers to find drugs locally.
Governments have played their parts in properly identifying the causes and acting upon it,
making laws as well so that there is no easy access to these, but the regulation of these laws
has been down the drain. There is no proper regulation of these laws in general that might just
protect people from the effects of these narcotics. The issue at hand is quite debatable as it
depends upon one’s understanding. Though in this discussion, the main issue that has been
considered is if drug trafficking or illegal dealing of narcotics is in similar aspects a crime
against humanity, which it definitely is. As in Human Trafficking, people are directly used
and abused as per the convenience while the only difference here between the two is that drug
trafficking involves direct as well as indirect harm to the people involved.
The connection between political aspect, terrorism and illegal trafficking of narcotics
as such is quite old. There have been on certain occasions found, that various criminal groups
or even political groups are involved in illegal trafficking of drugs for monetary purposes or
to have a constant financial flow. These finances then provide aid in the terrorism activities
that these people wish to commit. Mafia and as such illegal organizations whose main aim is
to purchase and sell the narcotics conduct such job in order to create financial aid for them in
order to conduct terrorist activities. These activities at the end result in conduction of
organized crimes (Singh, 2019).
Specifically in countries such as, Mexico and Kenya, despite government
intervention, the positions being held by the people in power are all those who are in some or
the other manner connected with mafia or are in some or the other manner associated with
organized crimes. Such financial aspects infiltrate the economic condition of the country and

ultimately due to the power it beholds, affects the political system as well. Following up with,
negative effects upon the basic foundation of the society and as well as anarchy and
disintegration of the society (UN, 2018).
Though in developing countries, the situation is quite different from the one as
specified as the power of funds or the monetary powers can also poses the governmental or
other senior authorities. Corruption here plays a very important aspect due to which the
situation as such can change drastically. Governments easily can be threatened in countries
where the markets such as the domestic security or capital markets are quite small in order to
absorb these illegal funds without being eluded by them or without relying on income as
such. Specifically in cases where the mafias and the drug cartels have a way around of buying
power or protection and even when votes or political backing if required on almost all the
levels of the government as well as the society. It is so because people already lack the
security related to income, they earn a modest income in such countries, when they get an
offer to earn around 20 times of their monthly salary, they try to encash this opportunity as
soon as possible. Making such decisions or opting for such ways to earn money fast is the
reason why corruption is so prevalent in these countries. It is easy for people to buy power
through cash that is illegal and has been earned through illegal sources of dealing or
transacting in narcotics (van Duyne, 2015).
As these people or authorities can be bought so easily, they are even pressured to take
certain political decisions that make the future of the country gloomy as traffickers hold the
power to take certain decisions in regards with the country. Any decision or power in the
hands of traffickers can lead to a situation of unrest in the country. The production of drugs,
their trade as well as financing related to the same being laundered through the widespread
contacts if hampered can lead to social peace being disrupted (Lucian, 2010).

On the off chance that a lot of unlawful cash related to the drugs are put resources into
an economy, the macroeconomic administration turns out to be a lot entangled. The said
administration is troublesome, under the most favourable circumstances; however, the huge
scale drug subsidizes flowing in an economy, turns into a practically outlandish assignment.
It is especially troublesome when there is a dire need for changes in the economic system.
