Review :
Tobacco Control is a ground-breaking work in comparative policy analysis. This study chronicles a fundamental transformation in tobacco policy, from the cozy cartel of government and Big Tobacco to today's social movement politics. Tobacco Control is must reading for anyone interested in public policy and comparative government. --Raymond Tatalovich, Loyola University Chicago Donley Studlar has produced a book that will be of interest to tobacco researchers, health advocates, and practitioners, as well as students of political theory. This unique volume compares tobacco control policy in Canada and the United States and draws on political theory to explain patterns of tobacco control policy historically. Importantly, it also suggests possible future developments and puts the specific policies into a global context. --Roberta Ferrence, University of Toronto This book is the definitive study of Tobacco Control policies in the United States and Canada, two countries that have been the world leaders in this policy area. A product of immense scholarship, the monograph is valuable in part for its many analytic perspectives including among many, comparative history and politics, public policy theory, and the internationalization of the policy process. Moreover, the clarity of writing widens the potential audience beyond that of specialists in the field. A must book for courses in Public Policy, it will be a welcome addition as well to courses in Comparative Politics, Canadian Government, and American Government courses. --George Sulzner, University of Massachusetts The book is remarkable from the standpoint of being not only accurate international history - the tobacco-control movement in Canada and the United States - but at the same time accomplishing this through the lens of political science. This has not been done before. --Kenneth Kyle, The International History Review Donley Studlar's analysis is essential reading for newcomers to tobacco control and useful for anyone else curious about what remains our #1 preventable cause of death. --Thomas Stephens, Canadian Journal of Public Health This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the development and status of tobacco control in Canada and the United States. If used only as a reference tool, it is worth the price. It is extremely well written and provides a plethora of details about the evolution of tobacco policy. Moreover, it provides a meaningful framework with which to approach Canada-United States comparisons in any substantive area. --Leslie R. Alm, Boise State University
