Narco-capitalism (derivatives: narco-state, narco-economy) is a pejorative neologism meant to express criticism of a state's policies and practices surrounding the international illegal drug trade. The terms are standard words with the prefix "narco-", defined by the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' as "associated with the trade in illegal drugs". It is a pejorative term meant to criticize and express disfavor about a government's drug policies; no state calls itself a narco-state as a neutral descriptor — thus, who uses the term, and in what context, is significant to understanding its intended meaning. For example Guinea-Bissau has been called a "narco-state" due to government officials often being bribed by traffickers to ignore the illegal trade.〔(Washington Post newspaper: Guinea-Bissau coup: Prime minister arrested for helping drug trade, military says, 13 April 2012 )} "Analysts told the AP that in Guinea-Bissau, traffickers have bought off members of the government and military, turning the country into a 'narcostate.'"〕 ==See also== * War on Drugs * Opium War * Mexican Drug War * Crack epidemic 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Narco-capitalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
