Change or Continuity in Drug Policy: The Roles of Science, Media, and Interest Groups

This book is a detailed and comprehensive examination of the contours of drug policy development through the consideration of the particular roles of science, media and interest groups. The author contributes to a richer understanding of the science-policy nexus in the messy, real-world complexities of drug policy, using Belgium as the primary case-study. This book will be of great value to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as to academics, practitioners and policymakers with interest in the science-policy nexus with a particular focus on the drug policy domain.
