"This book is essential reading for researchers of tobacco policy
change. Too many studies simply complain that change is too slow
because tobacco companies are too powerful and politicians lack the
will to challenge them. This book goes much further, to help us
understand not just industry strategy but the policy processes in
which policy advocates engage, learn from each other, and help
create essential global tobacco policy change." Paul Cairney,
University of Stirling, UK "This book is rare in making genuinely
significant contributions across both public health and policy
studies. By focusing on the battle for standardised packs, it
engagingly addresses one of the most prominent recent innovations
in health policy that has relevance both beyond Europe and across
multiple spheres of health policy. In doing so, it also offers an
innovative analysis of the role of transnational corporations in
policy transfer."Jeff Collin, University of Edinburgh, UK This book
analyses the battle for standardised cigarette packaging ('plain
packaging') in Europe, drawing on the concepts of multi-level
governance and policy transfer. It analyses the strategies of
policy makers, non-governmental organisations and transnational
tobacco companies in attempting either to advance or to block the
introduction of standardised packaging. Taking a global and
multi-level approach, it analyses these struggles within European
Union institutions, EU member states, and across jurisdictions, as
NGOs and tobacco companies worked transnationally to counter each
other. As well as presenting original empirical research detailing
these policy battles, the book provides new theoretical insights
into policy transfer processes, particularly within multi-level
polities, showing how transnational corporations can have dramatic
effects on these processes. The book will appeal equally to public
health researchers, policy analysts and political scientists.
