Abstract
This paper explores how drug trafficking and terrorism have become interconnected across the globe. It traces the historical development of this connection, commonly referred to as narco-terrorism, from its roots in colonial trade to its modern entanglement with insurgent groups and organized crime. By examining case studies from Colombia, Afghanistan, Mexico, and India, the research outlines the social, political, and economic conditions that allow narco-terrorism to persist. It also evaluates the effectiveness of global enforcement efforts and proposes alternative strategies, such as decriminalization and development, as essential components of a more holistic response.
