The absence of analytical rigor in designing, implementing and evaluating public policies for the prevention and control of drug trafficking is an obstacle to distinguish its multiple manifestations and the impact of how the problem is dealt with in Argentina. This paper seeks to analyze, from the information available and in the framework of the Argentine position in the international drug control regime, the transformations that have occurred in the last fifteen years in terms of supply and demand of drugs that are subjected to control. It seeks to warn about the need to have an understanding of the illicit drug market and its different local manifestations when designing and implementing prevention and control policies.
