Cocaine has had a long and prominent position in the history of American substance abuse. As far back as the late 1800s cocaine was commonly found hi patent medicines, elixirs, and, astonishingly, in the earliest versions of Coca-Cola. Eventually, the potency of cocaine was recognized and its purveyors came under gradual regulation. Events hi the early 1900s kept cocaine use down until World War II, but the extensive drug use of the 1960s once again sparked a national temperance movement. Created in 1989, the Office of National Drug Control Policy maintains responsibility for coordinating and monitoring the nation's countemarcotics policy. But responsibility for coordination and monitoring is not the same thing as control. In Snow Job? Kevin Jack Riley examines source country control policies—policies intended to control the production and export of cocaine from Latin America—and their limitations. Part I draws together drug use, drug production, and drug control policies hi an analytic framework. It goes on to examine the recent history of U.S. drug control policies, source country control policies, the ways hi which cocaine prices affect cocaine use, how cocaine is made, and the vulnerable points in its production. Part II examines the economic effects that production and controls exert on the sources of cocaine—Bolivia and Peru—and probes the Colombian drug lord connection. Part III prescribes an appropriate path for source country cocaine policies and examines their implications for two other widely smuggled drugs, heroin and marijuana. Riley disagrees with analysts who believe that source country control policies can lead to permanent victory hi the war against cocaine, because of the potentially high costs associated with implementing source country control policies on a large scale. He suggests a better strategy would be one that recognizes the severe limits facing interdiction, eradication, and other source country policies, and instead focuses on directing source country resources where they will be most useful. This necessitates defining a regional strategy that elevates political stability and institution building, and demotes traditional countemarcotics objectives. Snow Job? offers original thinking and practical approaches to a multidimensional world problem and will be of interest to policymakers, political scientists, sociologists, and law enforcement officials.

This dissertation critically investigates how state-led, US-supported war and intervention are governed, maintained and experienced. This research is based on twenty months of ethnographic fieldwork in Peru's Huallaga Valley, where for decades the governments of the Peru and the United States have conducted militarized and development-based interventions in the name of the war on drugs and war on terror. These interventions are premised on the Huallaga as a site of conflict between Shining Path insurgents, civilians, and the state in Peru's internal war in the 1980s and '90s, and as a former global leader in the production of illicit coca, the leaf crop used to make cocaine. These efforts are carried out through state-based, internationally-supported "alternative development" programs that simultaneously aim to disable internal conflict, eradicate drug crops, and promote new licit economies in place of illicit drug crop production. In this way, state and international agencies make the war on drugs an essential aspect of efforts to establish peace in drug-crop producing countries during and after internal conflict. While men and weaponized violence are often centered in public imaginaries of war and the illicit drug trade, this research focuses on the people, politics, and intimate everyday experiences that exist beyond these frames. Drawing on research with development officials, former and current drug crop farmers, domestic workers, coca eradicators, sex workers, military personnel, and Peruvian and US government employees, this work analyzes how the embodied and affective labor of a wide range of actors contributes to the maintenance of protracted war. It also discusses less-considered forms of violence, including domestic violence, that persisted before, during, and after internal conflict. While political and interpersonal violence are often analyzed separately, this work details the ways they were intricately linked. It shows how these linkages were integral to the governance of protracted war, and to the ways that cycles of violence against rural mestizo and Indigenous women, men, and gender-nonconforming people were perpetuated in landscapes of sustained intervention. In investigating extended forms of US and state interventionism deployed through the war on drugs and the complexities of everyday life as they existed in within and around these circumstances, this research demonstrates how hegemonies of power were constructed and challenged in daily life.

Globalization and attendant modernization has increased both the supply and the demand for drugs around the world. Drug abuse is no longer the concern of only the developed world. Countries without histories of drug use, particularly developing countries, are now reporting problems of abuse because they have become transit points for international drug trafficking. Because the problem is now worldwide, a global strategy is needed for identifying, analyzing and developing strategies to deal with drug abuse and the associated problems for health and safety. This volume reviews the international status of drug abuse. Specific topics covered include drug abuse in the developing world, emerging drugs and poly drug use; gateway drugs, cultural views of drug use and state of the art methodologies employed in research on drug abuse.
