Description
Summary:Internationally, although the war on drugs is widely considered a failure, it continues to be deeply entrenched in US diplomacy with partner nations through counternarcotics agreements, continued DEA presence overseas, and the levels of antidrug aid directed abroad. 'Policing on Drugs' writes the history of the drug war from the Mexican perspective, examining how the punitive prohibitive policies that have been enacted by the US government have impacted Mexico and its institutions over time. This bilateral study helps explain how militarized policing came to be the primary approach to policing people and drugs in the second half of the twentieth century.
