Mindful of the volume of market related and trend oriented data within the Report, the authors then move onto to provide a summary of the global picture as presented by the UNODC in the main body of the text. Within this section, they also highlight ongoing examples of the Office’s increasingly sophisticated and transparent methodology. This approach emphasizes the continuingly high levels of uncertainty concerning many aspects of the global market. This is followed by discussion of a reoccurring theme running throughout the Report; the issue of displacement.
The final section of this IDPC report is devoted to a discussion of chapter three of this year’s publication, “The Destabilizing Influence of Drug Trafficking on Transit Countries: The Case of Cocaine.”
