Abstract
This article examines the regional and local outcome of processes of fast social transformation regarding the underlying causes of gradual receptivity for international drug trafficking. In the Brazilian Amazon, social patterns, power‐relations, institutions and redistributional networks have been undergoing reconstruction for the last 30 years. In regions of traditional occupation, as well as in regions of intense migration, the absence of consistent state regulation has created fertile ground for new criminal activities. Two examples of this are discussed comparatively.
