Résumé : | The comparative analysis of drug consumption continues in later sections, specifically Zobel and Götz examining regional commonalities and national divergences in European drug use trends. They argue that while illicit drug use varies widely between individual European countries, overall the prevalence levels remain lower than in comparable countries such as Australia, Canada or the US. More specifically they examine the extent to which the prevalence of cannabis use between Eastern and Western Europe, which traditionally had been extensive, was now significantly diminishing. This suggests, according to Zobel and Götz that drug use in Europe develops as " a complex mixture of specificities linked to culture, history and geography" interacting with the globalization of youth cultures. Such interaction between local specificities and global trends suggest that while global homogenization may continue, we should not underestimate the ways in which imported global universals become transformed, translated, and contextualized in local cultures (Howes 1996).
