Introduction

Drug Trafficking is a billion dollar market that creates jobs for millions of people from the low-level street dealers who may be individual drug users themselves, through street gangs and contractor-like middle men, up to multinational empires that rival governments in size. Through the drug trade many people in poverty countries are employed more through these illegal means than through legal legit means.Consumption of illegal drugs is widespread globally.
While the U.S. is the biggest opponent of the drug trade, Americans unquenchable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade.Globalization opens up the drug trade to use deregulated and privatized markets to spread their activities worldwide. Opens up for things like the U.S. feeding the Mexico drug trade. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/26/world/americas/26mexico.html?ref=world
This relates to the course because there economic and global inequalities of the players involved in the drug trafficking business. Drug trafficking creates more inequalities between government and those involved.
What i want to get from the drug trafficking is to see the reality of the underground black market of it. what countries are effected by it? Who benefits from it? Why and how this market continuing to flourish?
