Toby Seddon’s '' (Oxford UP)

This book draws on diverse social science disciplines - law, sociology, criminology, political science, economics - to present a new regulatory perspective on drug control and drug law reform. It develops a novel theoretical framework for looking at drug control laws, provides a new account of the origins of global drug prohibition and explores ways of developing a 'better politics' of drugs.
