Using novel, bioethical framing alongside critical and comprehensive analysis of harm reduction approaches, this cutting-edge book addresses the multifaceted and transdisciplinary issue of drug addiction in society, exploring how addiction can be conceptualized from various disciplinary perspectives for positive policy outcomes.

The book discusses the philosophical concepts of agency and action within addiction, and how this can support the foundations needed to identify the most effective and ethical harm reduction strategies within policy frameworks. Foregrounding the implications for this notion of agency, chapters trace the evolution of the concept of addiction through the centuries and examine contemporary understandings from neuroscience, philosophy, bioethics, and policy analysis. Comparative, case study analysis is conducted to contrast local, empirically based models for drug policy in the UK alongside external models based on international treaties, which dictate a top-down approach to drug penalization.

Offering a research-based and theoretically informed framework for effective harm reduction strategies and policies, this book will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of addiction studies, bioethics and mental health policy more broadly. Policy makers working in addictions and substance use may also find the book of relevance.

Francisco Blancarte Jaber is a recent doctoral graduate in Law at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and newly appointed as Head of Department for Content Creation, National Bioethics Commission, Mexico.
