Opium’s Long Shadow: From Asian Revolt to Global Drug Control
Steffen Rimner
In 1920 the League of Nations Advisory Committee on the Traffic in Opium and Other Dangerous Drugs culminated eight decades of political turmoil over opium trafficking. Steffen Rimner shows how local protests crossed imperial, national, and colonial boundaries to harness naming and shaming in international politics—a deterrent that continues today.
