  • Going Dutch Drug Policy at the Crossroads
    POLICY ESSAY DRUG MARKET CONFLICTS IN AMSTERDAM Going Dutch Drug Policy at the Crossroads Craig Reinarman University of California—Santa Cruz ince the 1970s, Dutch drug law and policy have moved away from punitive prohi- bition toward a harm reduction model, with the objective of minimizing the harms S associated with both drug abuse and drug policy. Scott Jacques, Richard Rosenfeld, Richard Wright, and Frank van Gemert (2016, this issue) investigate whether the de facto decriminalization of cannabis in the Netherlands, with its semi-licit system of licensed retail sales in “coffeeshops,” reduces the crime and violence often found in illicit drug markets. I say “de facto decriminalization” and “semi-licit system” because, as the authors note, the Dutch have made it effectively legal for anyone older than 18 years of age to walk in the front door of coffeeshops and buy small amounts of cannabis, but it remains illegal to bring supplies of that cannabis in the back door of coffeeshops. This “back door problem,” as the Dutch call it, has caused trouble for coffeeshop owners and growers and no shortage of debate in Parliament. But for decades, coffeeshops have functioned reasonably well within this legally ambiguous space, with cannabis finding its way to consumers with few problems and little policing. To contextualize Jacques et al.’s (2016) contribution, it may be useful to recall how cannabis was criminalized and why the Dutch departure from criminalization is historically significant. Until the Netherlands shifted its drug policy toward harm reduction (avant la lettre) in 1976, cannabis was prohibited around the world on pain of criminal punish- ment (Levine, 2003).

DRAFT October 19, 2010 CLINICAL LEGAL EDUCATION IN DUTCH LEGAL CULTURE: CLASHES OF TRADITION, TOLERANCE AND PROGRESS IN GLOBAL LAW’S CAPITAL Richard J. Wilson* Abstract This paper examines the current context of legal education within Dutch legal culture as a case study focusing on the growing role of clinical legal education in the Netherlands, a progressive country in Western Europe, where traditional legal education has held sway for centuries. The Dutch experience with clinical legal education, though limited, is expanding even as the traditional apprenticeship phase of law training there is undergoing major reform, responsive to the growth of “big law.” These reforms are largely attributable to a history of innovation and openness in Dutch legal culture, one dimension of which is the general acknowledgement that the Netherlands has become the international law capital of the world.

  • Strategy, Jointness, Capacity Institutional Requirements for Supporting Security Sector Reform
    STUDY Strategy, Jointness, Capacity Institutional Requirements for Supporting Security Sector Reform KONSTANTIN BÄRWALDT (ED.) November 2018 n Promoting security and justice in conflict-affected and fragile contexts is in many ways central to women’s and men’s lives. In their external engagements Western donors often seek to address the security needs by enhancing the capacities of lo- cal security institutions and by promoting reforms in the respective security sectors (police, military, justice authorities, executive and ministries, parliaments, oversight bodies) and the overarching governance system. For the purpose of this study, all these activities are broadly defined as »security sector reform« (SSR). n Unfortunately, empirical evidence suggests that most of these SSR programs, in par- ticular those aimed at training and equipping security institutions, have not produced the desired results. When it comes to the implementation of SSR programmes, it is striking that the political nature of security provision and governance in fragile and transformative countries is often not matched by an equally political strategy on the part of the Western donors. The ways in which donors plan, organize, operate and implement their SSR programs is often fundamentally at odds with the politically dynamic nature of change processes in recipient states. n Lacking results are mainly due to the complex and turbulent political environments in which the initiatives are pursued. But it is also owing to the fact that governments and international organizations are weakly positioned to plan, implement, evaluate and adapt their SSR engagements. n By comparing the SSR policies of the USA, Netherlands, Germany, France and the United Kingdom – and two international organisations – the European Union and the African Union – this study derives recommendations about how implementing bureaucracies can develop and implement an urgently needed »political approach« in their SSR programmes.
