The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Research Handbook on International Drug Policy by Khalid Tinasti, David R. Bewley-Taylor

Analysing one of the most controversial areas in public policy, this pioneering Research Handbook brings together contributions from expert researchers to provide a global overview of the shifting dynamics of drug policy. Chapters tackle a complex and cross-cutting issue from inter and multi-disciplinary perspectives, incorporating political science, history, law and public health into their analyses. Emphasising connections between the domestic and the international, this timely Research Handbook illustrates the intersections between drug policy, human rights obligations and the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Integrating detailed discussion of ever-evolving drug markets, a diverse range of policy responses, and political and ideological tensions, the contributors offer an insightful analysis of the regional dynamics of drug control, its historic constructions, and the contemporary and emerging problems it is facing. Aimed at researchers and students interested in drug policy, as well as policy makers and practitioners at different levels of governance, the Research Handbook on International Drug Policy provides a much-needed comparative approach and will prove to be an essential resource for navigating the difficulties surrounding drug policy and control.

Review

'For both the drug-specific and the wider issues raised, the book is to be welcomed for its insights and examples and is a valuable addition to third wave literature.' -- Blaine Stothhard, Journal of Illicit Economics and Development'The editorship and a welcome international group of authors from six continents adding diverse interpretations to familiar discussions, wide thematic coverage, and reminders of the growing reform movement combine to make this an impressive collection. The book sees the hegemony of the global order as being increasingly 'disregarded' and is an important critical reminder that a human rights framework might not be the 'right fit' for international drug policy as the latter requires more worldly values of open debate, diversity, freedom, and equal participation of national governments in shaping policies.' -- Blaine Stothard and Aysel Sultan, Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy'At a critical time when drug laws are fundamentally starting to change from prohibition to regulation in a few countries, this book is timely and appropriate as it brings together a collection of writings of authors who not only cover the historical timespan of drug laws and the diversity of experience in different countries but do so in depth on the key issues in a style easily followed by the reader.' -- Anand Grover, former UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health (2008–2014)
