Towards Drug Policy Justice
Taking the shifting global drug policy terrain as a starting point, this collection moves beyond debates about whether to reform drug policies to a focus on delivering ‘drug policy justice’ – repairing the damage caused by the war on drugs as a component of reform efforts and safeguarding against future harms in legal markets. This book brings together some of the leading international thinkers and advocates on harm reduction and drug policy to introduce key questions in contemporary drug policy. Across five themes, and with contributions from different regions and disciplines, it explores ethical, legal, empirical and historical perspectives on delivering ‘drug policy justice’ from supply through to use. Essays cover a wide range of issues, from the effects of COVID on drug policy to securing economic and environmental justice, and from human rights in Asian drug policy to questions of race and equity in cannabis reforms, providing diverse insights on both prominent and overlooked drug policy challenges. Towards Drug Policy Justice is a benchmark text for scholars, students, advocates and policymakers as the book explores new models of global drug policy reform.
Rock Aesthetics in Colombian Literature and Culture
Rock Aesthetics in Colombian Literature and Culture: Writing the Noise explores the presence of a rock aesthetic in the Colombian literary field and how its pivotal role in creating alternative creative expressions that challenge the dominance of tropicality as the prevailing artistic reference. More than a musical genre or a cultural industry, rock is also an aesthetic: a significant social practice that allows one to understand what people consider beautiful or authentic. Since its birth in the mid-1950s, rock as an aesthetic has expanded worldwide, transforming and establishing dialogues with artistic practices such as literature. Through an analysis of a series of novels, poems, and manifestos written from the 1950s to the early years of the twenty-first century, David Martínez Houghton embarks on a literary, musical, and historical journey. On the way, he explores complex phenomena such as urban violence, the formation of youth identities, the penetration of pop culture, national identity discourses, and even the social and physical transformation of Colombian cities.

Educación y desarrollo regional en Colombia
“Existe un consenso en que la inversión en capital humano, particularmente en la educación, conlleva importantes beneficios, tanto individuales como colectivos. Invertir en educación permite aumentar los salarios, favorece la movilidad social, reduce la desigualdad y tiene efectos disuasivos sobre la criminalidad y el embarazo adolescente. Se trata, entonces, de una de las formas más eficaces para incentivar el crecimiento y desarrollo económico.”

Violencia y habitus
Esta obra realiza un aporte a los estudios de la violencia en Colombia desde la teoría de los campos de Pierre Bourdieu. Frente a concepciones que le atribuyen al paramilitarismo la responsabilidad de ser una de las causas más importantes de la violencia en Colombia, ya sea como instrumento del Estado o de las élites, este trabajo analiza las prácticas del paramilitarismo como consecuencia de una trayectoria en el espacio social. Esta obra busca responder a la pregunta: ¿Por qué actúan como actúan los paramilitares? para así comprender sus estrategias y prácticas en relación con su accionar político.

The key to sustained and equitable development in Latin America is high quality education for all. However, coalitions favoring quality reforms in education are usually weak because parents are dispersed, business is not interested, and much of the middle class has exited public education. In Routes to Reform, Ben Ross Schneider examines education policy throughout Latin America to show that reforms to improve learning--especially making teacher careers more meritoc...
