Abstract

We draw from aspects of Black’s theory of conflict management to (1) provide a description of the types of disputes occurring at the highest levels of the drug trade and (2) examine whether conflicts that end in violence differed from those that found a peaceful resolution. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyse 33 incidents of smuggling transaction failures at the highest levels of the cocaine trade in the Netherlands. The results show that outcomes were determined by the way in which conflicts arose; lost product due to negligence and fraud increased the likelihood of violence. The fragile equilibrium between peaceful or violent resolution depended on whether the guilty party accepted blame or provided evidence that could account for losses.

高风险非法药物交易中的冲突管理

摘要

我们从布莱克的冲突管理理论的各个方面得出以下结论：（1）描述了在毒品交易的最高水平上发生的争端的类型，（2）研究了以暴力终结的冲突是否不同于那些和平解决的冲突。 。在荷兰可卡因贸易的最高水平，使用一种混合方法分析了33起走私交易失败事件。结果表明，结果是由产生冲突的方式决定的。由于疏忽和欺诈造成的产品损失增加了发生暴力的可能性。和平解决方案或暴力解决方案之间的脆弱平衡取决于有罪方是否接受责备或提供可解释损失的证据。
