On the 28th May, our team organized a panel at the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) Annual Congress<\/a>. The panel explored policy approaches towards those who survive at the very lowest rungs of\u00a0the\u00a0illicit global trade, their successes and failures in Latin America and the lessons learned from recent efforts at developing new models.<\/p>\n

Panel title: The Latin American Challenge to Drug Control Policy\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a clear relationship between poverty and drug trafficking. However, governments have tended to focus on the criminal aspects of the latter rather than the redistributive policy implications of the former. The international community, led by the US, still prioritizes drug crop eradication and interdiction actions in \u2018producer\u2019 and \u2018transit\u2019 states, imposing disproportionate costs on the countries that are on the front line of the international \u2018drug war\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0This approach has destroyed local economies, criminalized some of the most vulnerable sectors of society, legitimized oppressive policing and empowered local militaries. But, after half a century of compliance with the US-led and UN-sanctioned global prohibition regime, political elites in the Americas have started to push back. Examples include the Commission on Drugs and Democracy (comprised of former heads of state), the 2013 Organization of American States report that prioritizes public health and safety strategies, Jamaica\u2019s decriminalizing reforms in 2015, and Bolivia\u2019s participatory model to regulate coca cultivation. This panel will bring together a set of scholars to examine the opening-up of the drug policy debate and the implications for those who survive at the very lowest rungs of this illicit global trade. The organizers will engage scholars working on the drug trade from a number of disciplinary perspectives and at varying sites to examine similarities and differences in grassroots experiences along the drug commodity chain.<\/p>\n
