Industrial Geography Of Cocaine

Latin American cocaine trafficking organizations comprise an indigenous, globally competitive, multinational industry. Their business operations are deeply ingrained within the economic and political systems of countries throughout the region. While criminal enterprises operate in a more complex and uncertain setting than licit firms, their competitive success is determined in fundamentally similar ways. Models developed by geographers to explain the spatial behavior of licit multinational firms are profitably applied here to the operations of drug trafficking operations.Allen, Christian M. is the author of 'Industrial Geography Of Cocaine', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415949408 and ISBN 0415949408.
