Rezensionen

'This book is the only detailed study of its kind that I know of - a fine-grained, nuanced evaluation of the contemporary politics of challenging and sustaining the global drug prohibition regime. For anyone wanting to know about international drug control politics, especially in terms of the role of the United Nations, this will be a 'must read'.'
