Bertram, et al/ Drug War Politics
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page analysis of the book Drug War Politics: the price of denial by Eva Bertram, Morris Blachman, Kenneth Sharpe and Peter Andreas. This is a very unusual book. Unlike most volumes on this topic, it does not reiterate the various facts and arguments about how the war against drugs has been fought. Rather, the authors of this book attempt to examine the conceptual systems and paradigms that control the government's attitudes on drugs, and they also attempt to rationally examine alternative methods of coping with drug problems within our society.
