Guest: Jonathon Goodhand

The opium trade has thrived within Afghanistan for over three decades.  It has been investigated as a primary source of Taliban profits and has thereby been widely considered to dramatically influence the strategic goals of the insurgency. An official and authoritative Taliban rule of Afghanistan will undoubtedly impact on the Opium Trade. 

Dr. Jonathan Goodhand is a Reader in Conflict and Development Studies in the Department of Development Studies at SOAS, University of London an he will elaborate on his research of the potential effect that Taliban rule may have on the global heroin trade.
