Contributions range from extensive research to field work and observation. Enrique Mayer demonstrates that the coca leaf is a vital Andean cultural element whose use and economic role will not be easily replaced or substituted. Myrna Cintron traces the historical roots of the cocaine problem, arguing that the current crisis is part of a periodic cycle that has seen cocaine change from recreational use to an economic commodity. Ray Henkel describes and analyzes the development of the coca industry and the impact it has had on Bolivia. Harry Sanabria presents research on out-migration from a high altitude peasant community in Bolivia and social differentiation based on coca agriculture. Luis Loyola explores the historical functions that alcohol consumption has had in peasant and Indian communities in Chiapas, Mexico, and provides an ethnographic account of the drinking pattern in Tenejapa, Chiapas. Raul Jeri's work on coca paste and Peruvian cocaine addiction shows that patients who present neuro-psychological disorders prior to cocaine exposure develop faster physical and psychological dependence. Rosa del Olmo examines the plight of women trapped in the highly rewarding underground economy. Edmundo Morales' paper on coca paste and crack explores the overall pervasive use of cocaine, its mechanisms, and the dynamics of manufacturing and marketing. Reference lists follow each paper.

The eight papers selected for this issue discuss the substance-human-life link in Latin America, which will help the reader uncover some of the myths knitted around drugs, especially cocaine.While some readers will increase their knowledge of drugs, others will have the opportunity of travelling from the barren mountains of Bolivia to the urban ghettos of New York.Contributions are original and unique in that the authors share their works ranging from extensive research to field work and observation.

  • Turning Over a New Leaf: Regional Applicability of Innovative Drug Crop Control Policy in the Andes
    TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF: REGIONAL APPLICABILITY OF INNOVATIVE DRUG CROP CONTROL POLICY IN THE ANDES Thomas Grisaffi, The University of Reading Linda Farthing, The Andean Information Network Kathryn Ledebur, The Andean Information Network Maritza Paredes, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú Alvaro Pastor, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú ABSTRACT: This article considers coca control and development strategies in Bolivia and Peru through the intersection of participatory development, social control and the relationship between growers and the state. Bolivia has emerged as a world leader in formulating a participatory, non-violent model in confronting the cocaine trade. Between 2006-2019 the government limited coca production through community-level control. Our study finds that not only has Bolivia’s model proven more effective in reducing coca acreage than repression, but it has effectively expanded social and civil rights in hitherto marginal regions. In contrast, Peru has continued to conceptualize ‘drugs’ as a crime and security issue. This focus has led to U.S.-financed forced crop eradication, putting the burden of the ‘War on Drugs’ onto impoverished farmers, and generating violence and instability. At the request of farmers, the Peruvian government is currently considering the partial implementation of the Bolivian model in Peru. Could it work? We address this question by drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, interview data and focus group discussions in both countries, combined with secondary research drawn from government, NGO and international agency reports. We find that for community control to have a reasonable chance of success in Peru key areas need to be strengthened. These include the ability of grassroots organizations to self-police, building trust in the state through increased collaboration and incorporating coca growers into development and crop control institutions.

  • Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship (Keynote Address of the Rev
    Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship (Keynote Address of the Rev. Dr. Winfred B. Vergara, Missioner for Asiamerica Ministry of the Episcopal Church Center at the diocesan EAM Consultation of the Diocese of California, held in Christ Episcopal Church, Alameda, California on June 10-11, 2011) Introduction This gathering today, here in this Diocese of California has a triple significance for me: first, it is here, in this diocese where the first national Episcopal Asiamerica Ministry Consultation was held in 1974; second, it is here, in this Diocese, where I was installed as the second missioner for Asiamerica Ministry in 2004; and third, it is here now, in this Diocese that this first diocesan-wide EAM Consultation is ever held. The end of all exploring,” wrote the English poet, T. S. Eliot, “will be to arrive where you started and know the place for the first time.” Or as one Chinese proverb says, “If you just stay in the same place for as long as you can, you will finally see the world coming back to you.” So I feel like, today, it is “dejavu” – all coming back again, as if, for the first time. You‟ve assigned me to speak on “Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship.” Let me arranged this theme on three chapters: first, what is spirituality; second, what is Asian; and third, what is Christian stewardship. Then, I will sum up on how we can arrive at a contextual teaching on Christian Stewardship. First, what is Spirituality? A story is told of a parrot which was fond of speaking bad words.

  • However, the Commission Has Taken Greece Before the Court
    C 92 E/6 Official Journal of the European Union EN 17.4.2003 However, the Commission has taken Greece before the Court in an infringement case based on Article 228 of the Treaty (non-implementation of a Court decision) since the Commission considers that the method of applying the tax discriminates against second-hand vehicles brought in from other Member States, in spite of the Court decision of 23 October 1997 in case C-375/95 against Greece. Concerning second-hand imported cars already fitted with anti-pollution technology, and their exclusion from the reduced rates of the special consumer tax, the Court found that this was a violation of Article 90 of the EC Treaty. From the information in the Commission’s possession it would seem that Greece initially extended to second-hand cars the same tax reductions as those applicable since 1989 to new cars which included anti- pollution technology as an integral component but that, as from 1 January 2001, it reintroduced tax discrimination by applying a higher rate of the new registration tax to imported second-hand cars than to second-hand cars on the domestic market already including anti-pollution technology as an integral component. In the Commission’s view Greece only partially implemented the decision handed down at the time. The infringement proceedings for non-implementation brought on the basis of Article 228 of the Treaty concern this aspect. As to the method of calculating the depreciation on second-hand cars, following the 1997 Court judgement, Greece changed its legislation and adopted a new system for evaluating actual wear and tear on second-hand cars.

In this region, Morales and his administration have enacted several policies that focus on improving the livelihoods of coca-growing families (cocaleros) through cooperative reduction of coca production and the diversification of their income base. The Bolivian government claims that these policy changes have resulted in substantial improvements in the well-being of these households.

Yochelson (1928-2006), principal organizer of the first NAPC (1969) and a major catalyst in its establishment as a highly successful quadrennial meeting. Welcome On behalf of the Associated North American Paleontological Societies, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Cincinnati for the 9th North American Paleontological Convention (NAPC 2009). As the abstracts in this volume attest, this is a wonderfully eclectic meeting, with sessions and presentations covering an array of taxa, and touching on important questions and themes that drive the science of paleontology in the 21st century. In the year when we commemorate the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth and the sesquicentennial of The Origin of Species, it is appropriate that NAPC 2009 take place in Cincinnati. There are few places on the continent that can match the rich paleontological heritage of this region.
