Examines the origins, development, and rise of the opioid epidemic
in the United States from the perspective of the public policy
process. Written by two political scientists, discusses
institutional features of the American political system that impact
the making of public policy, arguing that the fragmentation of that
system hinders the ability to coherently address policy problems,
taking the opioid epidemic as an example. Analyzes indicators and
warning signs pointing to the emergence of a significant public
problem, reasons the crisis emerged in the United States and not in
other Western countries, the nature and scope of the opioid crisis,
including socio-economic and demographic characteristics and the
human, social, and economic costs, and parallels between the role
played by opioid manufacturers and tobacco/cigarette manufacturers
in creating the problem of addiction, resulting in high mortality
rates, and the public policy response to both.
