Abstract
It would be easy to claim that Germany’s drug policy failed to achieve any substantial results – had there been a drug policy of sorts. Despite Germany’s important role in the international aid regime, she never even followed a strategically oriented drug policy in the first place. In this she is accompanied by a broad society of drug policy abandoners: The U.S., despite in the early years of the intervention declaring poppy production as one of the main strategic challenges of the war against terrorism and statebuilding, has quietly incorporated opium reduction in its counterinsurgency strategy (COIN). Opium traders will now only be target when they openly support the Taliban. The insurgency, escalated in the last few years, is now obviously by far outweighing the opium problem. In the last years before the withdrawal will leave behind a different power constellation anyway, the intervening countries seem not to be interested in provoking further regional and local confrontations. This article argues and exemplifies focussing on two provinces why there is no substantial drug component left in intervention policy. Obviously, that much may be speculated, the interveners have lost their resolve to tackle the opium economy and replace it with a peace economic structure. The apparent lack of concepts to transform the opium and hashish economy in Afghanistan indicates a reduction of strategic outlook to mere hoping it might disappear.
