Description: "Comprehensive analysis of the contents and impact of the source country control policies implemented by the US, particularly in reference to Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru. After detailed analysis of drug traffickers' ability to defeat 'supply-side' policies, author recommends that the US pursue 'strategic goals based on institutional building and regime stability,' that is, to focus on strengthening the police and judicial capacities of Latin American governments to confront, control, and punish drug traffickers while also assisting governments with adequate interdiction, domestic enforcement, and treatment policies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
