Information About

Ethan Nadelmann




Nadelmann was born in New York City and received his BA, JD, and PhD from Harvard University , and a Masters degree in International Relations from the London School Of Economics . He then 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.

In 1994, Nadelmann founded the Lindesmith Center , a drug policy institute created with the philanthropic support of George Soros . In 2000, the growing Center merged with another organization to form the Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for drug policies grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights. Described by '' Rolling Stone '' as “the point man” for drug policy reform efforts, Ethan Nadelmann is widely regarded as the outstanding proponent of drug policy reform both in the United States and abroad.
