Drug trafficking trends and border management in South-East Asia: "Responding to an evolving context of regional integration"

A presentation about border management and prevention of drug trafficking. The presenter argues that drug trafficking is a complex multidimensional threat to security and good governance. They argue that no country is immune from the challenges caused by illicit trafficking, and that rapid regional integration and economic development in Asia, expected to be enhanced by the ASEAN Community in 2015, may make Southeast Asian countries more vulnerable. They conclude that border control responses need to integrate TOC into existing border management mechanisms. Presented in Vienna, 19 November 2014.
