Second, discuss three of the most important components for the organization/management of the methamphetamine market, as explored in 'Aussie Ice Wars'.

(2) What is central thesis being argued by Wainwright in 'Narconomics: The Business of Cartels'. Moreover, what do you see as some of the promises and limitations of such an approach when it comes to understanding the highly organized and profitable global drug trade. Also utilize the CFR article when generating the second portion of the response

Please explain in detail
