Globalization has facilitated the advancement of transport and communication. Additionally, it has led to illicit businesses, such as the transnational transfer of drugs from one nation to the other. This paper discusses how the global economy has opened ways for transnational criminal activities such as the trafficking of drugs. The workshop opens a global discussion, which is in a position to discuss the policy of handling the future uncertainties that may be associated with transnational drug trafficking.

The more capitalism reaches in terms of globalization, the more criminal activities increase in number. The means by which capitalist are used in doing their transactions as well as transferring their cash across borders is the same means by which legal products are being transferred. However, there are a number of illegal activities that are allowed to flow in the same way as legal ones. Through the laundering of money, security personnel and those involved allow the illegal product to cross the border unnoticed. Transnational crime, like drug trafficking, is carried out by a group of people or a network that plans to execute crime activity by utilizing the corrupt system of governments.

There has been significant growth in the drug market across the board and around the globe. The types of drugs that are traded on the global market include heroin and cocaine. Such types of drugs are planted in Afghanistan as well as the Adriane region, and they are transported globally in large or small quantities.
