This book is a collection of studies of drug policies in several
Latin American countries. The chapters analyze the specific
histories of drug policies in each country, as well as related
phenomena and case studies throughout the region. It presents
conceptual reflections on the origins of prohibition and the "War
on Drugs," including the topic of human rights and cognitive
freedom. Further, the collection reflects on the pioneering role of
some Latin American countries in changing paradigms of
international drug policy. Each case study provides an analysis of
where each state is now in terms of policy reform within the
context of its history and current socio-political circumstances.
Concurrently, local movements, initiatives, and backlash against
the reformist debate within the hemisphere are examined. The recent
changes regarding the regulation of marijuana in the United States
and their possible impact on Latin America are also addressed. This
work is an important, up-to-date and well-researched reference for
all who are interested in drug policy from a Latin American
perspective.
