Abstract:Historically the role of Africa in the transnational illicit drugs trade has been peripheral, but in recent years Africa has become increasingly a focus for drug trafficking, especially cocaine. This seems to be an effect of structural shifts in the international drugs trade. This book examines how best to balance short and long-term counter-narcotics goals and strategies in Africa. The volume contains testimonies presented at a hearing of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee on June 23, 2009: Statement of Michael A. Braun, before the Subcommittee on African Affairs - 'Confronting drug trafficking in Africa'; Testimony of Assistant Secretary Johnnie Carson, Bureau of African Affairs, before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs - 'Confronting drug trafficking in Africa'; Testimony of Douglas Farah, Senior Fellow, International Assessment and Strategy Center, before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Subcommittee on African Affairs - 'Confronting drug trafficking in West Africa' (Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau); Statement of Thomas M. Harrigan, Assistant Administrator and Chief of Operations, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), US Dept. of Justice, before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Subcommittee on African Affairs - 'Confronting drug trafficking in West Africa'; Testimony of William Wechsler, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Office of Counternarcotics and Global Threats, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Subcommittee on African Affairs - 'Confronting drug trafficking in West Africa'; and Illegal drug trade in Africa: trends and US policy (Liana Sun Wyler, Nicholas Cook).
