Recenzii
A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2013 'Recommended. Most levels/libraries.' Choice ’Regulating Alcohol around the World is an engaging, comprehensive look at the successes and failures of scientific evidence, public opinion, and policy proponents informing alcohol policy across the globe. I especially liked the interesting and relevant case studies, in-depth historical and cross-cultural examples, and highly accessible yet scientific explanations of alcohol policy implementation and its effectiveness in various countries.’ Jennifer Schwartz, Washington State University, USA

Descriere
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.
