Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The first activity of the new TNI project, Crime & Globalisation, was a seminar on The Economic Impact of the Illicit Drug Industry. Goal of the seminar was to assess the global business volume of the illegal drug industry and to look where the illegal proceeds of the industry are going. Issues discussed included: the size of the illicit drug economy and the flows, investments and collusion of drugs money in the legal economy the facade of money laundering control and the alleged funding of international terrorism through drug trafficking. It also discussed deficiencies in current research; and propose new areas and lines of research. The seminar illustrated the widespread recourse to inflated figures, doubtful evaluation processes and the institutional need for numbers. (Extract of the publication)
