EXAMINING DRUG TRAFFICKING AS A HUMAN SECURITY THREAT IN VIETNAM

Öz

Largely based on secondary data analysis in combination with data acquired from 6 semi-structured interviews Interviewees in in this research consist of 2 anti-drug trafficking police officers coded as PO1; PO2 , 1 staff from Department Against Social Evil SE , 1 staff from Hanoi MOLISA HM , 1 researcher on drug trafficking in Vietnam RE1 and 1 father of drug addict FA1 , this article examines the nexus between drug trafficking and human insecurity in the context of Vietnam. By adopting the worldwide well-known analytical framework of human security developed by UNDP, this paper reveals that in Vietnam drug trafficking has mounted to an considerable multifaceted threat to human security particularly on the dimensions of economic, health, personal, community and security. In relation to the training of the anti-drug trafficking police, these revelations suggest that the crime should be considered as not only a criminal problem but also an important issue of non-traditional security. This infers that the police training could be undertaken by both police and security academies. With regard to the training curriculum, it should pay more attention on powering its potential victims to develop their resilience and capacity to escape from the victimization. Concerning the methods for policing drug trafficking, since the crime is determined as a security threat, it could be reasonable to utilize some strategies of governing human security issues in order to better control the crime
