He highlights the evolution of the concepts of cartels to criminal groups and internal security to citizen security, as well as efforts in Peru and Colombia to measure the impact of drug trafficking on the national economy. Renato points out that illicit crops are present in Central America, that fentanyl consumption in the region is not as significant as in the United States, and that since 2016, regional interdependence in cocaine trafficking between Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico has been reinforced. |
