156. Explaining the reproduction of illegal drug use control regimes in Japan: the multi-centred governance thesis.

Abstract

Despite current global trends towards diversification in policy responses to illegal drug use, including growing criticism of the War on Drugs, Japan continues to retain an ardently prohibitive approach. This article explains the reproduction of prohibitionist policies in Japan throughout the post-War period through use of the Multi-Centred Governance (MCG) thesis. This thesis acknowledges the facilitative power of exogenous shocks to the policy process, the causal power of particular policy actors, whilst also emphasising the importance of dispositional power, the rules of meaning and membership that integrate and bind policy actors into rival agendas of crime control, in maintaining policy agendas despite facilitative and agentic pressures for change. In these terms, the MCG provokes discussion of how alleged global trends in crime and control are mediated by a politics of risk and justice, constituted through the interplay of the facilitative, causal and dispositional circuits of power found in particular contexts.

This first issue is closer to the Berghaus source atlas of 1845 (see our 1849 Berghaus edition 2515.000) than the second Johnston edition of 1856 (see our Johnston 0372.000). All of the plates in this 1848/1850 edition are engraved; in the second edition of 1856, Johnston replaces most of the hand colored engraved plates with color lithography.

187. Negotiating the family order and the initiation of methamphetamine use in Japan.

Abstract

This article uses the concept of the "negotiated order" as developed by McAra and McVie to focus on the role and nature of the "family order" in shaping the initiation of methamphetamine use in Japan. Presenting empirical qualitative data from multiple life-story interviews with 11 men with a history of methamphetamine use, the findings demonstrate that while there were variegated paths that led to initiation of use, a common factor was family breakdown and exclusion. Given the "group-oriented" nature of social organization and relations in Japan and the risks emanating from marginalization from "insider" groups, understanding the importance of the ways in which the ascription and negotiation of identities within and around the family can lead to initiation in a severely stigmatized and criminalized activity in this cultural context provides useful lessons for thinking about formal and informal responses to illegal drugs.
