The illicit opium cultivation and trade continues to undermine the
efforts of the Afghan government, the United States and
international community to improve security and promote development
in Afghanistan. The negative effect on the nation's overall
security, the corruption it facilitates in the public sector
degrading governance, and the implications on the wealth and health
of Afghans are reason enough to continuously assess the current
counternarcotics strategy pursued by the Afghan government and its
supporting international community.This research paper uses the
problem/solution methodology. The research explores the current
illicit opium cultivation in Afghanistan and its effect on the
current development efforts. It will investigate the usefulness and
applicability of the current counternarcotics strategy in
Afghanistan. More specifically, this researcher's goal is to
determine if the emphasized eradication pillar of the
counternarcotics strategy is appropriate. If not, this paper will
present historical cases and identify common characteristics of
each case applicable to Afghanistan. This paper presents two
historical cases: India and Turkey. The goal of this effort is to
assist policymakers in implementing an appropriate strategy to
resolve the illicit opium cultivation and curtail its negative
effect on the current development efforts.
