Bad Neighbor Policy: Washington's Futile War on Drugs in Latin America Hardcover - 2003

by Ted Galen Carpenter


From the publisher

The domestic phase of Washington's war on drugs has received considerable criticism over the years from a variety of individuals. Until recently, however, most critics have not stressed the damage that the international phase of the drug war has done to our Latin American neighbors. That lack of attention has begun to change and Ted Carpenter chronicles our disenchantment with the hemispheric drug war. Some prominent Latin American political leaders have finally dared to criticize Washington while at the same time, the U.S. government seems determined to perpetuate, if not intensify, the antidrug crusade. Spending on federal antidrug measures also continues to increase, and the tactics employed by drug war bureaucracy, both here and abroad, bring the inflammatory "drug war" metaphor closer to reality. Ending the prohibitionist system would produce numerous benefits for both Latin American societies and the United States. In a book deriving from his work at the CATO Institute, Ted Carpenter paints a picture of this ongoing fiasco.

First line

"Liddy describes Mexico's resistance in his own inimitable style: ""When the United States and Mexico met .. the Mexicans, using diplomatic language , of course, told us to go piss up a rope. The Nixon Administration didn't believe in the United States takin"
