 | The Politics and Economics of Drug Production on the Pakistan-Afghanistan Border Subjects: Politics & International Relations; Social Sciences; Comparative Politics; International Political Economy; Security Studies - Pol & Intl Relns; Criminology and Criminal Justice; International Politics; Middle East Politics; This title was first published in 2003. This important study contains a detailed socio-economic and political description of a region where opium and heroin are both produced and consumed. By carefully relating drug production, trade and consumption to a relatively inaccessible area on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the book teaches us not only about the area - itself fascinating enough, particularly since it came into global prominence following the terrorist attack of 11 September 2001 - but also about the global dimensions of the problem. |
