Paulo Silva

Paulo Silva appears in Taking the shine off: albedo and global temperatures as a speaker from the Maritime Analysis and Information Centre discussing cocaine flows through West Africa. He warns that cocaine reaching the region corrupts systems there and can create a wider problem for Europe if states become captured by trafficking networks.

His role in the wiki is to connect maritime interdiction to political stability. For Silva, the issue is not only stopping a shipment; it is whether repeated shipments create Narco-State Risk through corruption, fragmented departures, and hard-to-intercept go-fast boats.
