Summary

This study presents comparative, multi-disciplinary research (including public management, health, political science, sociology, economics, and law) that develops an explanatory framework for understanding how governments formulate and implement addiction policies in Europe. Through an in-depth analysis of the twenty-seven EU member states, plus Norway, it presents four European models and visions of governance of addictions, based on two axes, strategy and structure. For this purpose, four substances are taken into account - heroin, cannabis, alcohol, and tobacco.
