Drugs and politics in 1980s Argentina
Keywords:
Drugs, democratic transition, rights, Congress, ArgentinaAbstract
From the perspectives of political and cultural history, this article reconstructs how legislators participated from the shaping of a «drug problem» in Argentina, between 1984 and 1989. Particularly, the article looks at how legislators delineated their argumentations, agreements, and disagreements and tries to identify the «frames» they deployed vis-à-vis the «drug problem» in general, and the issue of drug possession for personal consumption, in particular. While transnationally a perspective centered on public health gained preeminence throughout the 1980s, domestically it coalesced with a language of rights attuned with a series of ideas connected with the restoration of a democratic civil order.
