Robbie,

George is with us at Phoenix this week; I'm just going to pick him up
now. I can also contact Rod Mullen, if Rowdy needs some assistance.

Which DVS's do you want?

 

Anthony

Subject: [EFTC] New Book from Axel Klein

 

Hi.  I have been asked by Axel Klein to circulate details of his new
book:

"Drugs and the World"
An anthropological approach to the study of psychoactive drugs
London: Reaktion
 
Conventionally, studies in the drugs field focus on some form of medical
or social pathology, from addiction to organised crime. Yet drugs also
play a constructive role, from their centrality in religious rituals to
their part in the growth of trade among nation-states. The book then
moves on to investigate the modern policies that define certain
substances as drugs; the link between drugs, addiction, and crime; and
the prevailing control regime around the world that has largely failed
to control global drug trafficking. Drawing on studies from the
Caribbean, West Africa and Eastern Europe the book proposes solutions
that could reinforce the eroded power of state institutions, law
enforcement, and the democratic process in addressing drug trafficking.

Axel Klein is a social anthropologist by training, who has conducted
fieldwork on drug related issues in different parts of the world. He is
now working at the Centre for Health Service Studies at the University
of Kent.
