Cocaina on the road: On the global origin of the drug problem from the Opium issue in Asia.

The transformation of the 19th century’s “opium question” into the 20th century’s “drug problem” is normally seen as a mere response to growing availability of and demand for psychoactive drugs. This hegemonic view is being challenged by an alternative perspective that stresses the contingencies in...

This hegemonic view is being challenged by an alternative perspective that stresses the contingencies in the constitution of the social problem and reveals how, at different crossroads, things could have taken quite a different turn. Using the emergence of the international prohibition regime over cocaine (1909-1919) it is shown how the politically motivated inclusion of cocaine in The Hague Convention of 1912 paved the way for an otherwise highly improbable “world law” against numerous psychoactive drugs as well as for the emergence of the very category of “drug problem” which otherwise possibly never would have come into existence.La transformación de la "cuestión del opio" del siglo XIX en el "problema de las drogas" del siglo XX supone normalmente una consecuencia natural de la creciente oferta y demanda de sustancias psicoactivas. Desde un punto de vista alternativo, esta visión hegemónica será rebatida al enfatizar las contingencias de la concreción del problema social y al poner hincapié, en cómo la confluencia de diferentes factores podría haber ocasionado un giro distinto en el decurso del fenómeno. En especial, el surgimiento del régimen prohibicionista internacional de la cocaína (1909-1919) y la definición habitual del “problema de las drogas” en base a rivalidades comerciales y paradojas históricas, y cuyo devenir dio paso a la inclusión políticamente motivada de la cocaína en la Convención de La Haya de 1912, y en consecuencia, allanó el camino no solo para el surgimiento de la ley de narcóticos actual, sino también para la incorporación de innumerables sustancias estupefacientes y la visión mundial del problema que se da por sentada en la actualidadUniversidad Central del Ecuador2022-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por paresapplication/pdfapplication/epub+zipapplication/ziphttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/derechopenal/article/view/432910.29166/dpc.v4i4.4329Derecho Penal Central; Vol. 4 Núm. 4 (2022): Derecho Penal Central; 28 - 432697-33592697-325110.29166/dpc.v4i4reponame:Revista Derecho Penal Centralinstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEspahttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/derechopenal/article/view/4329/5748https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/derechopenal/article/view/4329/5754https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/derechopenal/article/view/4329/5755Derechos de autor 2022 Sebastian Scheererhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-06-15T19:55:56Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/4329Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*2697-33592697-3251opendoar:02023-06-15T19:55:56Revista Derecho Penal Central - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse
