In certain contexts, restrictive regimes are being transformed or replaced, while in others, renewed commitments to criminalized control are emerging. However, the underlying factors that drive convergence and divergence in policy-making processes across different countries and within them remain largely unexplored. To address this gap, David Brewster, through empirical qualitative research involving 'elite insiders,' delves into a diverse array of cannabis policy approaches across the globe. His original analysis uncovers the factors that either facilitate or hinder punitive or liberalizing tendencies in cannabis policy processes, ultimately leading to insightful conclusions and recommendations for policy-making and comparative criminology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe governance of illegal drug use is undergoing a significant shift, spanning from local to global scales.
