The New York-based Drug Policy Alliance is the leading organisation in the
United States promoting alternatives to the war on drugs. The Alliance
advocates for drug policies grounded in evidence based research,
compassion, health and human rights.

Ethan Nadelmann has been described by Rolling Stone magazine as "the point
man" for drug policy reform efforts. He is widely regarded as the
outstanding proponent of drug policy reform both in the United States and
abroad.

Dr. Nadelmann taught politics and public affairs at Princeton University
from 1987 to 1994, where his speaking and writings on drug policy - in
publications ranging from Science and Foreign Affairs to American Heritage
and National Review attracted international attention. He also authored
the book, Cops Across Borders, the first scholarly study of the
internationalization of U.S. criminal law enforcement. He received his PhD
from Harvard and a Masters degree in International Relations from the
London School of Economics.





The Keeping the Doors Open Speakers Series is organised by a committee of
health and community outreach professionals, joined by concerned
Vancouverites with backgrounds in business, law, public policy, and
communications, who advocate a harm-reduction based integrated response to
drug addiction. Dr. Nadelmann's visit to Vancouver is supported by Tides
Canada, a national public Foundation, and this event is co-sponsored by
local agencies, service providers and the business community.
