Rehearsing the history of drug scares in Europe, [Klein] explains the Byzantine contemporary international structures of the drug-control bodies, and the irrational separation between alcohol and nicotine on the one hand, and the rest of the pharmacopeia on the other . . . I was left glad that tea happens to be legal.

Synopsis
Drug trafficking and consumption are among the most pressing global issues of our time and the approaches to alleviating them are myriad and complex. With Drugs and the World ,Axel Klein takes a remarkably broad approach to the issue, exploring the importance of psychoactive substances to our health and culture. To be properly understood, drugs should not be simply examined from a negative point of view, Klein argues. From their centrality in religious rituals to their part in the growth of trade among nation-states, Klein reveals the pivotal role that drugs have played in the advancement of human society. Klein then investigates the modern policies that define certain substances as drugs; the link between drugs, addiction, and crime; and the legal strategies and policies around the world that have largely failed to control global drug trafficking. The book also draws upon studies from the Caribbean, West Africa and Eastern Europe to propose solutions that could reinforce the eroded power of state institutions, law enforcement, and the democratic process in addressing drug trafficking. A timely and in-depth analysis, Drugs and the World offers an expertly written examination that will be essential for all those concerned with the role of drugs in the modern world., Drug trafficking and consumption are among the most pressing global issues of our time and the approaches to alleviating them are myriad and complex.

- a***w (707)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe corner edges are bent in shipping because they are not protected. No padding-just placed in shipping bag pictured. The hardcover book in Very Good condition was exactly that except that the book corners and top and bottom of the jacket at the spine were rounded which is disappointing. This has been a constant issue and will no longer buy from the seller.
