Explanation: In the lectures, Harry J. Anslinger is presented as the long-serving head of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Narcotics (from 1930), a central figure in building U.S. anti-drug policy and shaping international prohibition frameworks—hence the “father of the global drug regime” framing. (Lecture/Reading: Boon, The Road of Excess, Chapter 3; also connected to modern control regimes in Breen, The Age of Intoxication.)
