Africa's emergence as a trafficking nexus appears to have resulted from structural shifts in international drug trafficking patterns. This book examines how best to balance short-term and long-term counter-narcotics goals and strategies in Africa, how various U.S. civilian and military and international agency counter-narcotics roles and responsibilities in Africa should be defined and what types and levels of resources these efforts may require. 410 0$aAfrican political, economic, and security issues series. 606 $aDrug traffic$zAfrica 606 $aDrug control$zAfrica 615 0$aDrug traffic 615 0$aDrug control 676 $a363.45096 701 $aDaniels$b Peyton E$01872573 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970754303321 996 $aAfrica's connection to the drug trade$94481783 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03671nam 22005175 450 001 9911006899403321 005 20250120235828.0 010 $a9781523154241 010 $a1523154241 010 $a9783110636062 010 $a3110636069 010 $a9783110639285 010 $a3110639289 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110639285 035 $a(CKB)4100000008333258 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5787032 035 $a(DE-B1597)507506 035 $a(OCoLC)1102806875 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110639285 035 $a(Perlego)965363 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000008333258 100 $a20200406h20192019 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aProtecting Electrical Equipment $eGood practices for preventing high altitude electromagnetic pulse impacts /$fVladimir Gurevich 210 1$aBerlin ;$aBoston :$cDe Gruyter,$d[2019] 210 4$d©2019 215 $a1 online resource (404 pages) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$a9783110635966 311 08$a3110635968 327 $tFrontmatter --$tAbout the Author --$tAnnotation --$tIntroduction --$tContents --$t1.
