This book explores the complexities of drugs policy in Britain,
contradicting the over simplified representation found in the
public sphere. It focuses on developments in Britain since the
Misuse of Drugs Act of 1971, covering debates at national level and
local experiences set in international and European context,
emphasizing the interconnectivity between people and countries in
this global age. Several institutions and networks are examined to
illustrate how they shape the policy process as vessels for ideas
and interests and as spaces for individual action. MacGregor
discusses arguments around drug policy reform, in particular the
role of politicians, the media and advocacy organizations. Her aim
is to encourage a more open and intelligent conversation on drugs
policy and to question whether the institutional architecture in
place is fit for purpose given the great increase of substances
available and the underlying variety of conditions and interests
currently competing for attention and resources. The is a must read
for all scholars of Politics, Medicine and Social Science
interested in the current debate raging around British Drug Policy.
