Double-weighted statement

Research for the book between 2005 and 2011 included 60+ semi-structured elite interviews and numerous off-the-record discussions with officials from national governments, the European Union, the United Nations and drug policy non-government organisations. The book also drew heavily on participant observation of annual UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs meetings in Vienna and extensive document collection. This fieldwork conducted with subjects in the UK, USA, Japan, Australia, Canada and across Europe was extremely time-consuming in both its organisation and its implementation. Overall, the fieldwork, analysis and writing were unusually time consuming compared to other outputs.
