Drugged Out: Globalisation and Jamaica's Resilience to Drug Trafficking

Autor Suzette A. Haughton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2011
To penetrate the United States and Britain's markets with illicit drugs, Jamaican traffickers employed diverse and novel transportation methods and techniques in the post-1990 era that were more sophisticated than the trafficking of the 1980's. This transformation was particularly due to traffickers exploiting global processes to enhance their illegal drug industry. In response, Jamaica, America, and Britain have continuously established state-oriented actions aimed at curtailing the cross-border drug trade, thereby reflecting their resilience in combating this problem. This book explores past and present drug trafficking within the context of globalisation and examines state instituted responses to curb this problem. It demystifies the Jamaican, British, and American states' roles in the face of global security threats, such as drug trafficking, arguing that both developed and developing states pursue their national interests and maximize their goals through the exercise of state-power in controlling their territories and protecting their nationals from harm posed by traffickers.

Recenzii

This is a thought-provoking and important study of the effects of economic globalisation on the drug trafficking challenges facing Jamaica. It deserves to be widely read for the light it sheds on the complex and sometimes ambiguous effects of globalisation on political stability and governance in developing countries.
To anyone interested in the security challenges facing Small Island Developing States, this book by Dr. Suzette Haughton is obligatory reading. She focuses on the Jamaica case and identifies the processes that facilitated Jamaica's entry and increased market share of the illicit drug-trade. This book is a useful and timely addition to the literature on the impact of globalization on crime.
.Required reading for policy-makers, scholars and students in political sociology, international relations and criminology seeking to understand how the drug trade become so profitable, why it remains so resilient and why current policies have had only a limited effect in reducing the flow of drugs through the island.
