All the best Robbie -----Original Message----- From: Therapeutic Communities [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rowdy Yates Sent: Sunday, 28 September 2008 7:16 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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.
