The Alcohol industry and policy
|
The alcohol portal aims to examine governance processes in the area of alcohol and public policy. The portal aims to make connections between the alcohol industry, public policy makers and their relationships with the media, scientists and current research and debates within the field. You can see all pages on Alcohol here. The portal focuses in large part on the most important policy actor which is the Alcohol Industry and its personnel, and in particular tries to uncover the links between the industry, Alcohol Lobby Groupsand Alcohol Lobbyists and PR people. We also focus on the Alcohol NGOs, often poorly funded and struggling to raise public health issues against the plethora of other Alcohol Policy Groups and indeed the often covertly industry funded Alcohol Front Groups. Lastly we also focus on the issue of the science of alcohol and examine the role that Alcohol Science and Scientists play in the policy process.
