> Drugs and drink in Asia: New perspectives from History
> June 22-24, 2012, Shanghai University, Shanghai, China
>
> The centenary of the Hague Opium Convention in 1912 marks a hundred
> years of the development of international controls on commercial
> flows in psycho-active substances. This conference seeks to bring
> together those conducting new research on the origins and trajectory
> of that system in order to exchange recent conclusions and to address
> emerging questions. The focus will be on Asian contexts given that
> these were at the heart of the controversies that drove the emergence
> of the international drugs regulatory system. Among the questions to
> be considered are:
>
> 1. What has recent research revealed about historic markets for
> psycho-active substances in Asia?
>
> 2. How far were Asian consumers of psycho-active substances driving
> these markets or being led by them?
>
> 3. What were the chief concerns of governments and administrations in
> Asia when seeking to control these markets and consumers?
>
> 4. How significant was the place of psycho-active substances in both
> Asian and imperial commercial networks?
>
> 5. Were representations of Asian consumers of psycho-active
> substances more varied than previously thought, and if so what
> does this tell us?
>
> The event?s organisers are keen to encourage those conducting historical
> research into all substances that can be understood as psycho-active,
> from across the modern period. While the focus is on Asia, comparative
> papers will be considered. The preference will be for research that
> is being conducted or that has recently been published. The objective
> is to bring together from around the globe all those currently
> tackling issues related to psycho-active substances in Asia before
> c. 1961.
