Drug Smuggler Nation - Narcotics and the Netherlands, 19201995

Drug smuggler nation shows how and why the Netherlands developed into a central hub of international illegal drug trade in the 20th century. The book develops a model of 'criminal anarchy' that is historically, socially, and culturally embedded in Dutch society to explain the failures of the state's regulatory policies and law enforcement.
