Conflict and illicit drug markets in Ukraine
This article explores illicit drug markets in Ukraine and whether they have been impacted by Russia's February 2022 invasion. It uses quantitative data from national law enforcement agencies and forensic services to analyse trends in drug-related seizures and arrests. This information is used as a proxy for market size and product change and is triangulated with qualitative information from expert interviews ( N = 47) in the strategically importa…
Trust, infrastructure and sociopolitics in online drug markets
Online drug markets using encryption technologies have expanded primarily in consumer regions of the Global North. This article uses an exploratory approach to examine why cryptomarkets have flourished in Europe while remaining marginal in the traditional drug-producing region of Latin America. It argues that cryptomarkets operate as socio-technical infrastructures dependent on historically embedded forms of trust, sociopolitics, and drug-use cul…

Drug Policies and Development
The 12th volume of International Development Policy explores the relationship between international drug policy and development goals, both current and within a historical per-spective. Contributions address the drugs and development nexus from a range of critical viewpoints, highlighting gaps and contradictions, as well as exploring strategies and oppor-tunities for enhanced linkages between drug control and development programming. Crim-inalisa…
The Failure of Political Reform in Venezuela
This title was first published in 2001. The victory of former lieutenant colonel Hugo Chavez in the Venezuelan presidential elections of 1998 was criticized as a blow against the country's deep-seated democratic tradition. It is claimed that this simplistic argument fails to recognize the extent of democratic deterioration in the country and the limitations imposed by discredited political actors on a meaningful democratic reform process. The boo…
Continuity and change in Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution
The aims and outcomes of the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela are fiercely contested. A sympathetic view sees the possibility of Left revolutionary transformation as destabilised by aggressive US and domestic opposition actions. Detractors trace an authoritarian path from President Hugo Chávez’s election in 1998 to an inevitable socialist implosion under his successor Nicolás Maduro two decades later. This article emphasises continuities betwee…
The Missteps of Venezuela’s Opposition—Again
Regime change plans in Venezuela have come un-stuck. The intended swift dispatch of President Nicolas Maduro has not materialized. Venezuela has instead found itself in a paralyzing impasse of para
Venezuela
Fissures between the ruling Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV) and its grassroots base widened amid disaffection with the dismal economic performance of President Nicolás Maduro's government and the trend of militarization in his administration. Economic crisis and chronic insecurity accelerated migration. Opposition strategies of violent protest resumed as the executive continued to bypass the opposition-controlled legislature. Long-te…
Situation Normal in Venezuela
Nearly 20 years after its launch, the late Hugo Chavez’s Bolivarian Revolution appears to have ruined Venezuela. The economy is in free fall, corruption is rife, and Chavez’s successor, President N

Venezuela After Chávez
As Nicolás Maduro clings on to the presidency, a leading analyst discusses the crumbling of Chavista hegemony and a revival of the right amid collapsing oil revenues, a malfunctioning economy, street protests, and the long-term corruption of state structures
Recovery of pulmonary structure and exercise capacity by treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in a mouse model of emphysema
Emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease characterized abnormal dilatation of alveolar spaces, which impairs alveolar gas exchange, compromising the physical capacity of a patient due to airflow limitations. Here we tested the effects of G-CSF administration in pulmonary tissue and exercise capacity in emphysematous mice. C57Bl/6 female mice were treated with elastase intratracheally to induce emphysema. Their exercise capacities were…

The Politics of Narcotic Drugs
The Politics of Narcotic Drugs brings together leading experts on the drugs trade to provide an accessible yet detailed analysis of the multiple challenges that the contemporary trade in narcotic drugs and its prohibition pose, from the local to the international community. Through the use of country and regional case studies that include Afghanistan, Mexico, Colombia and the Middle East, the drivers of the drugs trade and the security and develo…
Forward into History
The 2008 presidential campaign in the United States raised expectations that the election of the Democratic Party candidate Barack Obama would lead to substantive change in the direction and execution of U.S. foreign policy. This has proved not to be the case. In relation to Obama's Latin American policy, it is possible to speak of an entrenchment rather than a revision of George W. Bush's strategy and assumptions. Examination of the complex of h…
South America, Peace Operations and Minustah
This article explores the opposition to the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) articulated by the government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Frias and the broader Bolivarian critique of militarized intervention and the liberal peacebuilding agenda. It argues that the structural drivers of South and Central America's embrace of peace operations were fundamentally absent in Venezuela, placing the country on the outside of regional pea…

Venezuela
Julia Buxton Venezuela’s Bolívarian revolution is seen by proponents and critics as a paradigmatic example of the leftward shift in contemporary Latin American politics. The centrality ofVenezuela to the hemispheric political realignments of the twenty-first century has somejustification.

Securing Democracy in Complex Environments
Democratization and its editors have played a valuable role in addressing and analysing the rise of democracy promotion.1 More recently, broader attention has focused on the challenges facing, and the limitations of, the activities that are undertaken by governments and non-governmental organizations with the aim of spreading and upholding democratic forms of government. Concurrent with this questioning of democracy promotion strategies, the ‘tra…
Venezuela's Contemporary Political Crisis in Historical Context
Since the election of Hugo Chávez Frías to the Venezuelan presidency in 1998 on a platform of 'revolutionary' change, the country has been wracked by political turmoil and violence between pro- and anti-government groups. While the political crisis has been reported and portrayed as a new phenomenon that has emerged as a result of Chávez's policy programme and style of government, this article argues that the conflict has deep historical roots an…

Venezuela
Following a pacted transition to democracy in 1958, Venezuela was viewed as a bedrock of democratic stability in Latin America. High rates of political participation and extensive partisan alignment underlined enduring support for the two dominant parties. Sustained economic growth was enjoyed in the 1960s. But a boom in Venezuela's oil economy in 1974 ended both economic and political stability, leading to corruption and clientelism of massive p…

Pacts and Polarization in Venezuela
Just one year into his six-year mandate, President Hugo Chávez Frías faced systematic opposition to his government from a powerful anti-Chávez movement. The aim of the opposition was to force a change of administration, through constitutional or unconstitutional means. The authoritative position assumed by the opposition is remarkable, not least because Chávez was a democratically elected head of state who had won a landslide vote on a platform o…
