  • political economy of tobacco control in low income and middle income countries lessons from thailand and zimbabwe global analysis project team
    Bulletin of The World Health Organization, 2000
    Co-Authors: S Chantornvong, J Collin, R Dodgson, Kelley Lee, D Mccargo, D Seddon, P Vaughan, G Woelk
    Abstract:

    Crucial to the success of the proposed Framework Convention on Tobacco Control will be an understanding of the political and economic context for tobacco control policies, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. Policy Studies in Thailand and Zimbabwe employed the analytical perspective of political economy and a research strategy that used political mapping, a technique for characterizing and evaluating the political environment surrounding a Policy issue, and stakeholder analysis, which seeks to identify key actors and to determine their capacity to shape Policy outcomes. These Policy Studies clearly revealed how tobacco control in low-income and middle-income countries is also being shaped by developments in the global and regional political economy. Hence efforts to strengthen national control policies need to be set within the context of globalization and the international context. Besides the transnational tobacco companies, international tobacco groups and foreign governments, international agencies and nongovernmental organizations are also playing influential roles. It cannot be assumed, therefore, that the tobacco control strategies being implemented in industrialized countries will be just as effective and appropriate when implemented in developing countries. There is an urgent need to expand the number of such tobacco Policy Studies, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. Comprehensive guidelines for tobacco Policy analysis and research are required to support this process, as is a broader international strategy to coordinate further tobacco Policy research Studies at country, regional and global levels.

  • economic Policy and decision making at the intersection of domestic and international politics the advocacy coalition framework and the national economic council
    Policy Studies Journal, 2003
    Co-Authors: Chris J Dolan
    Abstract:

    This article advances a theoretical model of the National Economic Council (NEC) based on a Policy network approach and group decision-making theory to explain why the U.S. president's NEC represents a significant development in the rise of the intermestic Policymaking and decision-making processes. It develops theoretical conceptions of interests and manipulation based on a Policy Network Approach and the Advocacy Coalition Framework in Policy Studies research to illustrate the complexity of NEC group dynamics. Hopefully, such a contribution can further existing theoretical frameworks in the field of Policy Studies and analysis and can add to assessments of the NEC in Policymaking and decision-making. Unlike much of the prevailing research, this article perceives the NEC as a political instrument used by Policymakers and decision makers to protect their Policy interests and engage in forms of political manipulation to increase their power over economic Policy.
