The Cannabis Social Club
As cannabis legalization reforms are underway, there is some concern that non-profit, ‘middle ground’ options may remain under-researched and thus less visible. This book offers an in-depth account of one of the possible ‘middle ground’ models for the supply of cannabis: the Cannabis Social Club. Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs) are typically formal, non-profit associations of adult cannabis users who produce and distribute that substance close to or at cost price among themselves. They constitute an user-driven model for the supply of cannabis. In most jurisdictions, CSCs remain a grass roots, unregulated initiative of groups of users, but the model has been legalized in Uruguay and Mal...
Visions of Cannabis Control
Visions of Cannabis Control argues that cannabis prohibition is the result of moral panic that has been instigated, perpetuated, and sustained in ways that are difficult to dislodge. The book documents the history of these cannabis policies and explores the impact of issues such as racism, labelling, and stigmatization. Stan Cohen argued that reforms designed to replace carceral tendencies within correctional institutions can instead extend such approaches into our communities. The idea that criminal justice reforms often reproduce what they were intended to disrupt can be applied to the cannabis revolution currently underway around the world. Racial disparities in arrests persist, exacerbat...

Historia bancaria y monetaria de América Latina (siglos XIX y XX)
La historia bancaria es uno de los grandes ausentes en buena parte de la historia económica de América Latina, pese a la importancia que la banca y las finanzas ejercen en los procesos de desarrollo económico. Ello resulta bastante curioso si consideramos que los bancos mayores de América Latina en la época contemporánea se cuentan entre las empresas más antiguas e importantes de la región. Este libro aspira a llenar esta laguna a partir de un conjunto de estudios que ilustran etapas claves de la historia bancaria de un mosaico de países latinoamericanos a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX. En resumen, el estudio histórico de los bancos contribuye a aclarar facetas esenciales del sur...
The Routledge Handbook of Post-Prohibition Cannabis Research
The place of cannabis in global drug prohibition is in crisis, opening up new directions for socially engaged cannabis research. The Routledge Handbook of Post-Prohibition Cannabis Research invites readers to explore new landscapes of cannabis research under conditions of legalization with, not after, prohibition: "post-prohibition." The chapters are organized into five multidisciplinary sections: Governance, Public Health, Markets and Society, Ecology and the Environment, and Culture and Social Change. Case studies from the United States, Uruguay, Morocco, and the United Kingdom show readers alternative ways of thinking about human–cannabis relationships that move beyond questions of lega...
The Spread of the Modern Central Bank and Global Cooperation
Central banks were not always as ubiquitous as they are today. Their functions were circumscribed, their mandates ambiguous, and their allegiances once divided. The inter-war period saw the establishment of twenty-eight new central banks – most in what are now called emerging markets and developing economies. The Emergence of the Modern Central Bank and Global Cooperation provides a new account of their experience, explaining how these new institutions were established and how doctrinal knowledge was transferred. Combining synthetic analysis with national case studies, this book shows how institutional design and monetary practice were shaped by international organizations and leading central banks, which attached conditions to stabilization loans and dispatched 'money doctors.' It highlights how many of these arrangements fell through when central bank independence and the gold standard collapsed.
Uruguay en la mira del narco
Este libro describe una situación compleja y de gran actualidad, convirtiéndose en un documento de inestimable valor para comprender las causas de la delincuencia en el Uruguay. Los cambios que se han operado en el mundo del narcotráfico en las últimas décadas han tenido un impacto decisivo en las modalidades del delito en Uruguay. Es por eso que cada vez es más frecuente presenciar, con asombro y pavor, las noticias que hablan de la existencia de grupos armados, bandas enemigas, ajustes de cuentas, secuestros extorsivos. Lo que parecía lejano, como si de una serie de televisión sobre narcos se tratara, es una realidad apremiante en nuestro país. Antonio Ladra traza en este libro, c...
El ministerio público y fiscal en Uruguay
El presente libro indaga sobre los antecedentes históricos nacionales, y en el derecho comparado, sobre la aparición de la figura de los fiscales como defensores de la causa pública. Analiza este concepto a nivel doctrinario y en el desarrollo normativo del mismo hasta nuestros días. Propone un esquema referido a los modelos de Fiscalías existentes en el derecho comparado iberoamericano. También formula específicas interrogantes sobre aspectos constitucionales relacionados con la institución y las actuales inconsistencias de la regulación legislativa.
