This book presents the first detailed inquiry into the nature of
cross-border drug trafficking between Laos People's Democratic
Republic and Vietnam, using an exploratory approach. It draws upon
qualitative and quantitative methods, case studies, interviews and
survey data from criminal investigation police and drug-related
crimes officers (CIPDRC) from six border provinces which are
directly and indirectly involved in investigating these
cross-border cases. The author demonstrates that drug markets in
Vietnam are not controlled by monopolistic, hierarchical
organizations or 'cartels' but small structures, based on family
ties and fellow-countrymen relations, which are fluid and loosely
organized. They are very adaptable and sophisticated with diverse
modus operandi and multiple divisions of labour which present
particular challenges to law enforcement agencies, which the author
discusses.
