Though any psychoactive substance can be revered or reviled as a
drug, as people's cultural norms shift, ultimately its status is
determined in law by the state. This publication explores the
regulation of drugs - alcohol and cannabis to heroin and cocaine -
and practices such as social drinking and public injecting under
political regimes. Drugs are discussed in their geographical
contexts: the colonial legacy of cannabis prohibition for
bioprospecting in Africa; the veracity of the persistent notion of
the narco-state; Turkey's governance of drinking amid civil unrest;
and alcohol's place in the neoliberal political economy of Ireland.
In addition, drug policies are examined: from problems in managing
drug-related litter in the UK to supervised injecting facility
provision in Australia; harm reduction in Canada; and the global
network of drug policy activists. Place is significant, but porous
borders, territorial overlaps and multi-scalar linkages are
influential in remaking the world through current challenges to the
'war on drugs'. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Space & Polity.
