First sentence: The growth and spread of narcotics trafficking accentuate the importance of the nation-state and the democratic republic in post-cold war world politics, even as the globalization of the market economy has led some to believe that the problems of the new world order were either too large for the nation state and therefore required supranational institutions or were too small and required substate or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
