Bad Neighbor Policy

Meer over het boek

The book explores the often-overlooked impact of the U.S. drug war on Latin America, highlighting the criticism from Latin American leaders and the U.S. government's persistent efforts to intensify its antidrug measures. Carpenter, drawing from his work at the CATO Institute, critiques the escalating federal spending and tactics that exacerbate the situation. He argues that ending the prohibitionist system could yield significant benefits for both Latin American societies and the United States, presenting a compelling case against the current drug war approach.
