Abstract

Abstract Discussions of drugs in international political economy tend to focus on the relative advantages and disadvantages of particular regulatory regimes and governmental policy approaches. While the particular regulation(s) and social context(s) differ, the drug literature is in this sense repetitive and neglectful of significant features of the global drug economy. Drawing on social economics, we argue that the neglect of broad and holistic, synthetic, integrative and comparative drug research in IPE stems in part from a research program in which the state is “essentialized”, resulting in drug research that is too narrowly cast. Borrowing from social economics, poststructuralist Marxism, and new materialism, we develop an anti-essentialist approach for thinking about the global drug economy in an effort to reveal aspects of global drug production, distribution and consumption, and the power relations entailed therein, that are currently obscured.

重新思考毒品

摘要国际政治经济学中对毒品的讨论往往侧重于特定监管制度和政府政策方法的相对优势和劣势。虽然特定的法规和社会背景有所不同，但在这个意义上，毒品文献是重复的，忽略了全球毒品经济的重要特征。在社会经济学的基础上，我们认为IPE中对广泛和整体、综合、综合和比较药物研究的忽视部分源于国家被“本质化”的研究计划，导致药物研究过于狭隘。借鉴社会经济学、后结构主义马克思主义和新唯物主义，我们发展了一种反本质主义的方法来思考全球毒品经济，试图揭示全球毒品生产、分销和消费的各个方面，以及其中所包含的权力关系，而这些方面目前被掩盖了。

期刊介绍： For over sixty-five years, the Review of Social Economy has published high-quality peer-reviewed work on the many relationships between social values and economics. The field of social economics discusses how the economy and social justice relate, and what this implies for economic theory and policy. Papers published range from conceptual work on aligning economic institutions and policies with given ethical principles, to theoretical representations of individual behaviour that allow for both self-interested and "pro-social" motives, and to original empirical work on persistent social issues such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination.
