A propos de cet article

Hardcover, viii + 272 pages, NOT ex-library. Minor signs of gentle wear, one foreign stamp on lower page edges externally. Interior is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show faint shelfworn marks, non-sticky impression of a removed label, short creases to upper spine. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This collection of scholarly essays discusses the internationalization of American drug policy from a variety of perspectives and features articles on Hong Kong, Britain, Australia, Canada, Taiwan, Latin America, the Netherlands and Switzerland. -- From the anti-opiate campaigns of the late 1800s to the DARE program of the 1990s, the United States has been at war with drugs throughout most of its history. Claiming that the drug war is for the good of the people, politicians use it as a campaign platform, the media sell it for higher ratings, and criminal justice administrators exploit it for expanded power and higher funding. Experts in criminology, the contributors to this volume closely examine the sociological impact of the global drug war, offering new insight to the debate. The book shows how the United States's war on drugs has spread throughout the world to Hong Kong and Australia, and affected policy in countries from Canada to Britain. -- Contents: Internationalization of U.S. Policy on Illicit Drug Control / Jurg Gerber & Eric L. Jensen; Toward an Explanation of the Persistence of Failed Policy: Binding Drug Policy to Foreign Policy, 1930-1962 / Kevin F.
