      abstract = {This book presents an analysis tracing the operation of  biopolitical mode of power in the global field of drug  control. Through a series of theoretically framed  investigations that relate current drug control policies to  the broader frame of 'vital politics,' it attends to the  relationship of drug control, democracy and  authoritarianism and showcases these pressures on the case  of the evolution of drug policy in the Czech Republic.  Then, it turns attention to the relationship of power and  knowledge, with a particular focus on 'evidence-based'  policy that tends to more often sustain, rather than  challenge coercive and punitive drug control policies. Last  but not least, it looks at how the global drug control  dispositif shapes those lives on one of Europe's (internal)  periphery, the Spanish Southern border. These  investigations are intended to illuminate elements of the  operation of the drug control dispositif and its far  reaching (bio-)political effects in order to maintain and  expand the space for thinking political alternatives.  Ondrej Ditrych is Senior Researcher at the Institute of  International Relations Prague. In his current research,  inspired by continental philosophy, he explores revolution  and political violence in global politics, ethnopolitics  and geopolitics in Europe and Postsoviet space, and global  risks. Constanza Sánchez Avilés is Law, Policy and Human  Rights Director at the International Center for  Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service (ICEERS) and  Research Associate at the Global Drug Policy Observatory  (UK). Her main areas of research and work are national and  international drug policies, the political economy of  illicit drugs and the intersection between drug control,  human rights and social justice.},
