点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to investigate the difficulty of regulating tobacco products in Indonesia by interrogating the influence of domestic politics, the global tobacco industry and the role of interest-based lobbying. To probe the political context that has fostered this situation, it combines multiple streams theory and a policy networks approach. Expected outcomes include a detailed political history of tobacco-related policy, mapping of stakeholder influence on policy, and a conceptual model explaining connections between policy creation and stakeholder networks. Project benefits include a tested analytical approach that can be used to explore policy environments for the regulation of harmful, but licit, industries, in a range of contexts.
