| Summary |
As global trade routes increasingly encompass developing economies--as a source, transit, and market for consumer goods--they present unique challenges to creating effective national and, by implication, regional and global regimes against illicit trade. For many states around the world, and especially in the Global South, these challenges threaten to destabilize social, economic, and political structures. These states are the world's "states on the cusp." |
