Afghanistan: When Counternarcotics Undermines Counterterrorism

Today’s counternarcotics chic contains the idea of a fundamental synergy among curbing the international drug trade, fighting the war on terrorism, and promoting democracy. In recent years, widespread attention to these links has introduced hip new terms such as narcoterrorism, narcoguerrilla, narcostate, and narcofundamentalism into the lexicon of U.S. officials, major international organizations, and the larger policy community. In Afghanistan, presumably consistent counterinsurgency, democratic stabilization, and counternarcotics measures have become the cornerstone of the international community’s policies.

In recent years, and especially since the events of September 11, 2001, worldwide efforts to combat financial abuse have assumed heightened importance. Money laundering and the terrorist financing are global problems that not only threaten security, but also compromise the stability, transparency, and efficiency of financial systems, thus undermining economic prosperity.
