NATO: The Dangerous Dinosaur ([link removed] )

The 2019 NATO summit has started. Donald Trump’s presidency has triggered a growing debate on both sides of the Atlantic about the future of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and U.S. policy regarding the alliance. In the new Cato book NATO: The Dangerous Dinosaur, Ted Galen Carpenter outlines how NATO in its current form has outlived its purpose, and burden sharing is only part of the problem. Continuing to expand NATO eastward, encroaching on Russia, will only endanger the alliance.

Is It the Drug? Rethinking Conventional Views of Substance Use, Abuse, and Addiction ([link removed] )

The disease model of drug addiction takes the view that the addict’s brain has been “hijacked” — that the addict has lost autonomy and self-control and has effectively become a zombie who is controlled by the drug. This model of understanding nonmedical drug use informs modern public policy, leading to policies that criminalize drug use and treat addicts with punishment and coerced treatment. On December 5th listen to a distinguished panel of experts discuss a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of substance use and addiction that can produce public policy alternatives.
