In the era of sustainable development, cross-cutting issues such as drug control-with real-life impacts on public health, public security and the enjoyment of human rights-need to be aligned with the priorities of achieving the 2030 Agenda. This volume by International Development Policy and the Global Commission on Drug Policy provides an insight into the political, economic and social barriers to needed drug policy reforms. - Helen Clark, former Administrator of UNDP; member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy With a complex architecture, multi-stakeholder involvement, and multi-sector intervention, drug policy remains a neglected area in public policy analysis, while it engages massive resources and directly impacts development indicators. This volume of International Development Policy provides the reader with a structured path via which to capture the challenges that drug policy poses, and how they translate as barriers to development on the ground. - Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou, Professor of International History, the Graduate Institute
