With the World Health Organization estimating that nearly four
percent of global deaths are due to alcohol, alcohol misuse can be
an extremely damaging social problem, and one that governments
around the world have endeavored to address through a range of
policy strategies. Regulating Alcohol around the World explores
historical and contemporary case studies in multiple countries to
gain a richer understanding of the political, economic, and other
forces that influence alcohol-related policymaking. The case
studies presented in the book investigate a range of different
kinds of alcohol policies, including prohibition strategies,
general efforts to reduce alcohol's social harms, and more targeted
policies. The explanatory value of leading theories from political
science, policy studies, anthropology, and other fields is
assessed, with particular reference to the influence of cultural
and historical factors on approaches to alcohol regulation. The
book adopts a global perspective and offers guidance for students,
researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders
about the lessons that can be learned from previous efforts to
change alcohol policies. As such, it will be of interest to
practitioners in the fields of health and alcohol abuse prevention,
as well as scholars and students of social policy, criminology, and
the sociology of health, addiction, and social problems.
