About this book
Reviews
'This fascinating study casts a sharp light on the intricate and multi-layered interactions of bureaucracy and politics in European Union decision-making.' - Sol Picciotto, Lancaster University Law School, UK
'Martin Elvins' book systematically covers the history of European drug-policy; looking at the interplay of institutions and knowledge in shaping the agenda and guiding enforcement. Whiles states have broadened the domain of their functional authority, the policies that they actually follow are subject to institutionalized beliefs provided by transnational networks of law enforcement professionals. He treats the multiple policy networks involved in such activities, thus shedding light more broadly on the emergent politics of globalization. He raises important normative issues for advanced democratic societies about the trade offs between secrecy, state sovereignty, accountability, expertise, and good policy while states strive to maintain technocratic legitimacy.' - Peter M. Haas, Professor of Politics, University of Massachusetts
'Based on extensive and orginal research, Martin Elvins' book clearly and meticuously charts the EU's growing involvement in policies aimed at tackling the escalating international drugs problem.' - Neill Nugent, Professor of Politics and Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration, Manchester Metropolitan University
