Abstract
Can governments and law enforcement agencies learn something from drug traffickers to beat them at their own game! Phil Williams argues that both ''have to think and act much more in network terms'' to create i nformal transnational law enforcement networks based on trust. ''While this approach does not guarantee success, it does at least conform to the first precept of effective strategy, which is to know your enemy and adjust your actions accordingly.''
