    Misha Glenny discusses the rise of global organized crime in a TED Talk. He argues that the fall of communism led to power vacuums that criminal organizations exploited to expand internationally. Glenny identifies zones of production, distribution, and consumption in the drug trade and notes that thousands have died in Mexico's cocaine trade while conflict minerals fund warlords in the Congo. Glenny concludes that globalization allows criminal networks to operate across borders, corrupting politics and harming public health worldwide.
