An Industrial Geography of Cocaine

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While criminal enterprises operate in a more complex and uncertain setting than licit firms, their competitive success is determined in fundamentally similar ways. This book applies models developed by geographers to explain the spatial behavior of licit multinational firms to the operations of Latin American drug trafficking operations.
