This paper analyzes how Mexican drug cartels have globalized their wholesale distribution networks and have also zeroed in on Australia as a prime new target. Among other things, the paper’s author specifically contends that 1) the cartels have begun selling to a variety of local Australian criminal groups, along with providing them ‘sweeteners’ such as handguns and other arms, and 2) that the ideal way to upend this dark network is by neutralizing maritime smuggling.
