The drug control regime established by the international community
has not succeeded in curbing either the demand for, or the offer
of, narcotics. But, despite a series of developments in the
Americas - including the legalisation of cannabis in Uruguay and in
several states in the United States of America - there is still
little support in Europe for repealing drug-prohibition laws.
Nevertheless, a gradual policy convergence reveals the emergence of
a European model favouring public-health strategies over a strictly
penal approach to combatting drugs, while growing transnational
support for legalisation indicates the persistence of an
alternative paradigm for drug policy. This book examines the
various influences on drug policies in Europe, as grassroots
movements, NGO networks, private foundations and academic research
centres increasingly confront the prevailing discourses of drug
prohibition. Pursuing an interdisciplinary approach and bringing
together legal scholars, social scientists and practitioners, it
provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of drug policy
reform in Europe.
