James Cockayne and Phil Williams, of the International Peace Institute, inThe Invisible Tide: Towards an International Strategy to Deal with Drug Trafficking Through West Africa, not only describe the drug situation in West Africa but also propose these policy solutions:

• Increase attention at the political and strategic levels;
  
• Develop a state-based Forum on West African Drug
  Trafficking (FWADT);
  
• Increase social resilience; and
  
• Create international law enforcement to complement the nations' of West Africa's enforcement.
