Morality Policies in Europe

The regulation of issues like abortion, euthanasia, gun control, same-sex unions, pornography, prostitution, drugs, or gambling is commonly referred to as a special class of so called morality policies. The distinctive feature of these policies is that politics are shaped by conflicts over first principle: When does life end? When does it begin? Is gambling, drug consumption or prostitution inherently malignant? The regulation of these value conflicts entails decisions about right or wrong and hence the validation of a particular set of basic values. Yet there is still a remarkable lack of scholarly attention on morality policies, in particular with regard to general implications for the study of public policy.

To stimulate further research in this area, this book focuses on different concepts and theories of morality policy change in European countries. It is based on a broad and comparative empirical perspective on different morality issues, including, for instance, the regulation of prostitution, abortion, euthanasia, gambling, drugs, as well as gun control.

This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.

Christoph Knill is Professor of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of Konstanz, Germany.
