Biography
Sebastián Antonino Cutrona is a professor at Universidad Nacional de La Rioja, Argentina. His research interests mainly consist in Latin American politics, organized crime and drug trafficking.
"There is remarkably little written in English on how the U.S.-sponsored international "war on drugs" has played out in Argentina. This timely book helps to fill this huge gap, appropriately framing the case in regional comparative perspective." - Peter Andreas, Brown University, Author of Smuggler Nation: How Illicit Trade Made America
"Cutrona's superbly researched and well written study of drug policies in Argentina is a pioneering work on this understudied subject in the Southern Cone countries and required reading for anyone - the general public, students and specialists alike - interested in the growing problems of drug consumption, drug trafficking, and drug-related crime, violence and corruption in his country." - Bruce M. Bagley, University of Miami
