Abstract

The bulk of the international criminal trade in drugs has traditionally been centred on organically based products: heroin, cocaine and cannabis. The trade in these drugs has established immensely powerful criminal empires, and radically affected the economies and political systems of a considerable number of developing countries. Today, however, the trade in these narcotics is being challenged by new synthetic drugs, which can be produced anywhere in the world. In the long term, this shift could result in important changes in both criminal structures and national economies.
