Political Economy of Narcotics: Production, Consumption and Global Markets

Julia Buxton

4.9/5 (9251 ratings)

Description:This scholarly examination of the worldwide web of narcotics today provides students, social workers, health providers, law enforcement officers and policy makers with an up-to-date, overall exploration of the world of drugs. For nearly a century, regimes around the world have upheld a prohibitionist stance toward narcotics. The US has led this global consensus, enforcing recognition of international narcotics conventions and laws. Vast resources are pumped into the 'war on drugs'. But in practice, prohibition has been an abject failure. Narcotics use continues to rise, while technology and globalisation have made a whole new range of drugs available to a vast consumer market. Where wealth and demand exist, supply continues to follow. Prohibition has failed to stem consumption and production, criminalised social groups, impeded research into alternative medicine and disease, promoted violence and gang warfare, and impacted negatively on the environment. The alternative is a humane policy framework that recognises the incentives to produce, traffic and consume narcotics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
