- Summary:
- Cops, Soldiers, and Diplomats is an exceptionally clear exposition of bureaucratic behavior among various agencies as each responds to the challenges of the war on drugs. Chapter by chapter, Tony Payan exposes the bureaucratic imperatives of the numerous agencies waging the drug war, uncovering some of the fundamental structural reasons why this war could not succeed within the United States: fragmentation, competition, duplication, jealousy, turf wars, information hiding, and ultimate failure. Payan's work will be certain to find an audience with politicians and policymakers, students of sociology and criminology, and anyone interested in the drug war.
