Decades of the Global War on Drugs, Lessons Learned, and America’s Opioid Epidemic

On Tuesday September 19, the Global Health Policy Center will host Ambassador William Brownfield, Assistant Secretary, State Department Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) from 2:30pm-4:00pm in our 2^nd Floor Conference Center. We have asked Ambassador Brownfield, at the conclusion of his remarkably distinguished 38-year diplomatic career, to offer his personal reflections on how global drug policy has evolved over the years, where those efforts stand today, and the current U.S. approach to interdicting the fentanyl and heroin that increasingly fuel America’s opioid epidemic. The event will be webcast live from this page. Please register at the link above and contact Lily Dattilo, ldattilo@csis.org, with questions.
