Introduction
Confronted by a host of policy challenges in the summer of 1977, the new Jimmy Carter administration set about articulating its approach to U.S. drug control. Carter inherited from prior administrations, and would continue, a slate of policies centered on reducing heroin production in Asia and Latin America, particularly Mexico. Washington’s Mexico program posed a number of contradictions for the environmentalist and human-rights president. Abuse…
It’s That Difficult of a Terrain”
Considerations of the natural environment permeate drug policy formulation, drug crop production, and trafficking. Cultivators, traffickers, and drug control authorities seek to mold nature to further their respective ends, even as they are also limited by the natural world.

Explaining the conceptual framework within which policymakers understood illegal opium production and trafficking, Seeing Drugs examines the genesis of the war on drugs during the Nixon and Ford administrations when the United States d…
The Investigation of Contiguity
According to the research on delegitimization, negative stereotypes, prejudices, and verbal discrimination are based on contiguities of person categories and devaluations mainly in the area of delinquency. The extent to which contiguities can be economically and systematically ascertained is demonstrated by computer-assisted co-occurrence analysis, where co-occurrence is understood as the simultaneous appearance of verbal occurrences in a countin…
