- Title
Afghan Poppy Production for the World: Dynamics and Entanglements.
- Authors
KREUTZMANN, HERMANN
- Abstract
The article discusses Afghanistan as the world's leading opium producer. The author states that although Afghanistan produces ninety percent of the world's opium, the poppy cultivation trade does not seem to have translated into economic power for the nation. Topics include opium wars, political instability, the connection between war and drug production, and the dependence of the Afghan economy on drug production. The Taliban and Mujaheddin groups are mentioned.
