Is there a growing “dissensus” globally on the best approach to drug policy and the legitimacy of the international drug control regime? This, among other topics, was the focus of a discussion hosted on April 7 by the Brookings Foreign Policy and Governance Studies programs. As the U.N. General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on the world drug problem convenes next week, there are new opportunities to improve global drug policy.
