Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

HE WAR ON DRUGS is an investigation into one of the most complex challenges facing contemporary societies: the transformation of international narcotrafficking.The book moves from the United States to Italy and Europe, examining the evolution of the drug market, organized crime, cocaine trafficking, ports, digital networks, financial flows and the emergence of new criminal models.Across twenty chapters, Corrado De Benedictis analyzes a conflict that can no longer be understood solely through traditional images of drug dealers and street trafficking. Modern narcotrafficking operates through international logistics, technology, financial systems and flexible criminal networks.The volume examines: the American War on Drugs;Italy's experience in fighting organized crime;Europe's fragmented response to a global market;the strategic importance of ports;digital drug markets;the financial dimension of narcotrafficking;cocaine's changing international routes;synthetic drugs and emerging challenges;youth protection and prevention;the relationship between enforcement, treatment and public health;the challenges facing Italy, Europe and the United States in 2026.THE WAR ON DRUGS does not offer a simple solution. Instead, it asks a fundamental question: can the institutions of the twenty-first century adapt quickly enough to confront a criminal economy that is constantly changing?A book about drugs, but above all about the State, organized crime, technology, money and the future of security.
