This introduction to studies carried out mainly in Brazil, India, and China aims to show the importance, for an understanding of the drug trade and its consequences, of research that compensates for the limitations of information available either in the media or from official specialist institutions. It sketches an overview of current academic activity around the world, noting the undeniable pre-eminence of the United States but also the exceptional efforts made by researchers in some closely involved countries, including Colombia and Italy, and, by contrast, the astonishing lack of engagement on the part of academic circles in most other countries. It selects for discussion some of the results of the various studies which might point the way for further research. It observes that the questions which arise vary considerably depending on the level considered - local, national or international; and identifies some of these. It demonstrates that the drug trade is linked to other criminal activities, and seeks to analyse the forms of organisation which control it. Lastly, it puts forward some basic questions about the potential contribution of research to national and international public policy for control
