Abstract: This paper deals with the issue of drug trafficking in Tajikistan, which is a serious socioeconomic obstacle to the country's economic growth. The author analyses the development and the reasons for the current situation since Tajikistan's independency in 1991, arguing that the unsatisfactory economic situation of the Tajik people has been caused mainly by the civil war in the 1990s and the malfunctioning institutional system. The result of the successive examination of the instruments and procedures that are applied in solving the problem of drug trafficking is used to identify possible improvements to the drug policy in Tajikistan as well as by international actors. Individual measures must be considered globally and in a long-term perspective.
