Historic retrospective of the U.S. “war on drugs” concept

This paper provides a detailed in-depth analysis of the historic traits and principles of the «War on drugs» concept in US domestic and foreign policies. Authors contrast the vector of ideological development of the concept with the changes in relevant statistical data on illicit drug demand and supply in the Western Hemisphere. This work represents an attempt to determine the role of the concept under review in the structure of modern academic knowledge related to anti-drug policy formation and decision-making process. © 2020, Rossiiskaya Akademiya Nauk, Institut Istorii (Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of General Hist.
