Description
Summary:<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body><p class="w_txt_td"><strong>Aim.</strong> To determine the influence of the drug industry on the evolution of criminal organizations on the example of the Latin American region.<br /><strong>Methodology.</strong> The study was conducted using system analysis, synthesis, generalization and interpretation of the results. <br /><strong>Results.</strong> The mechanism of accelerating the evolution of criminal organizations in the countries of the Latin American region under the influence of the global drug industry is revealed. An explanation is given to the connection between the crisis of the capitalist system and the increase in the drug industry scale. It is proposed to recreate the Federal Drug Control Service in the form of a highly specialized intelligence service with the ability to conduct global anti-drug intelligence and take active measures against drug actors anywhere in the world.<br /><strong>Research implications.</strong> The revealed drug industry influence on the evolution of criminal organizations in the Latin American region significantly expands the understanding of the formation, spread, and evolution of criminal organizations. Besides, the uncovered relationship between the capitalist system crisis and the drug industry growth allows a deeper assessment of the relationship between the growth of global criminalization and the fundamental problems of the existing world socio-economic model.</p></body></html>
