Narcokleptocracy
A narcokleptocracy is a society ruled by "thieves" involved in the trade of
narcotics
. The term has its origin in a report prepared by a subcommittee of the
United States Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
, chaired by
Massachusetts
Senator
John Kerry
.
[1]
The term was used specifically to describe the regime of
Manuel Noriega
in
Panama
. The term's construction builds on the already existing pejorative term "
kleptocracy
"- which is a government run by thieves. That is more precisely, a government run expressly for the benefit of those who govern.
