US Foreign Policy and the War on Drugs
Friesendorf

This is the first academic study to examine the side effects of US policy on the global drugs industry, such as the displacement of cocaine and heroin production. To reduce the supply of illicit cocaine and heroin from abroad, the US has relied on coercion against farmers, traffickers and governments of drug-producing and transit countries, but this has only exacerbated the world's drugs problems. "US Foreign Policy and the War on Drugs" develops and applies a causal mechanism in three cases to explain the displacement, analyzing US anti-drug regimes at different times and in various regions. The findings clearly show that American foreign policy has been a major driving force behind the spread of the drugs industry globally, calling for urgent revision. This book will be of interest to students of US foreign policy, security studies and international relations in general.
