520 1 $a"Drawing on declassified documents and authoritative research, The Politics of Cocaine takes a hard look at the role the United States played in creating the drug industry that thrives in Central and South America. Author William L. Marcy contends that by conflating anti-Communist and counternarcotics policies, the United States helped establish and strengthen the drug trade as the area's economic base The result: further destabilization, increased militarization, rampant drug trafficking, ongoing violence, and an ever higher death toll." "Marcy explores the collapse of drug policies during the 1980s, when the War on Drugs became part of Reagan's anti-Communist struggle, and how the U.S, invasion of Panama further militarized the conflict against narco-traffickers and insurgents. He traces George H. W. Bush's ill-fated Andean Strategy, followed by Bill Clinton's inconsistent narcotics control policies. Throughout George W. Bush's administration, the trade continued to flourish, and Marcy discusses why the United States has failed to control the flow of cocaine into the country."--BOOK JACKET.
