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

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Change or Continuity in Drug Policy: The Roles of Science, Media, and Interest Groups" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

While evidence-based policy is an emerging rhetoric of the desire by and for governments to develop policies based on the best available evidence, drug policy is an area where particular challenges abound. 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. Using Belgium as the primary case-study, supplemented by insights gathered from other countries, the author contributes to a richer understanding of the science-policy nexus in the messy, real-world complexities of drug policy. Change or Continuity in Drug Policy: The Roles of Science, Media, and Interest Groups is the first book to bring together policy and media theories, knowledge utilisation models, and public scholarship literature. As such, the book provides unique insights relevant to aspects of change or continuity in drug policies in Europe and beyond.

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.

Researchers often wonder what becomes of the results of their research. So did I. The idea for this book came from drug research that I have been working on in recent years. My initial research work focused on local drug/alcohol monitoring systems and comparative assessments of drug-policy strategies. In this context, I was involved in monitoring drug use trends at the local level for the city of Antwerp, which aimed to provide information for an evidence-based policy concerning prevention, harm reduction, and treatment, as well as to stimulate the (ongoing) dialogue between policy-makers and a broad range of stakeholders. Over the course of my involvement in this research, I presented findings to a broad range of stakeholders including police officers, treatment practitioners, and local policy-makers, and I felt optimistic about inspiring some small policy changes. However, through informal conversations with some stakeholders and drug users, I had an increasing number of reservations about the potential impact of my research findings on the local (drug) policy context. Generally, I started to wonder if and how scientific knowledge can play a role in the drug policy-making process or, in other words, how the science-policy nexus in the drug policy field actually works. From these first research experiences onwards, I became fascinated with the complex processes that underpin the development of criminal justice and public policy, and the debates around expert knowledge and the policy process. This book is devoted to these particular issues and reflects my attempt to create further insight about the links between science and policy in the field of drugs by moving beyond zero-sum statements of policy-making being evidence-based or evidence-free. Analysing the roles of science, media, and interest groups in the context of Belgian drug policy development but with insights gathered from other countries this book discusses theoretical perspectives and presents new evidence that can be used to challenge the way you think about the link between science and policy and, more broadly, about the underlying aspects of change or continuity in drug policies.
