Abstract

The presence of criminal organizations that use the region as a traffic area or as a distribution/supply route of Andina origin cocaine, demonstrate this border-ish relation of organized crime. It is about the construction of territories, moreover, represent power relations, which manifest from the networks. This work has as objective to analyze the connectivity of narcotraffic in the amazon region from the construction of territories-network. The adopted methodology bases on bibliographic research and documents analysis such as; reports from the Delegacy of Repression to Organized Crime (DRCO-PA), narcotics apprehension reports from the Federal Police, both documents refer to the period from 2013 to 2015. The research result points to the fact that narcotraffic in networks attends to the functioning of other criminal activities at the same time where they make vulnerable the frontiers of the national state.
