State and Market: Partners, Collaborators, Competitors and Regulators

This book argues that after the advent of globalization the agenda based policies followed by the nation-states are more 'market-centric' and hence 'pre-determined' by the politics of the 'International Economic Relations'. Thus, 'States' are today more market-driven . In these circumstances, the illicit drug trade is in itself is a determinant for the survival of some states. Therefore, the 'eradication' policy , will neither be successful, nor will it be allowed to succeed, since the live idea of illicit drug , and combat methodology and the subsequent financial inflow from the assisting countries serves both the host and the donor. It also argues the changing role of the 'State' vis-a-vis the 'Market' in the context of 'Drug-Trade in Asia'. This poses a threat to the present architecture of the 'State' as well as interrogates the linkages between terrorism, 'trans-national criminal groups' and 'drug cartels'. SANTISHREE. D.
