Abstract
The international scale of drug trafficking and the involvement of an increasing number of states in the global network of illegal transportation routes do not currently allow countries to clearly distinguish between producers of narcotic drugs and their consumers. It is only possible to trace certain trends in the spread of drug trafficking in relation to different continents and analyze them.
Criminal groups are taking advantage of globalization, expanding their networks of influence and gaining international status. Globalization also entails the need to reform the structure of global and regional security institutions.
