It is no great news that organized crime is a truly globalized, transnational business. Yet, government and governance responses remain too static and stuck within the confines of national borders. Against this background the international expert conference �Being Tough is Not Enough� was meant to reinforce the debate between politicians, experts, civil society actors and government officials on how to effectively curb transnational organized crime. While starting with a broad view on the topic and mapping the global dynamics, a particular focus was put on the issue of drug policy reform as a crucial element of any comprehensive strategy to tackle the transnational organized crime and its negative consequences for human security and democratic governance.
