- In the introduction to the volume Conceptualising Public Health: Historical and Contemporary Struggles over Key Concepts, Sophy Bergenheim, Johan Edman, Johannes Kananen and Merle Wessel provide a comprehensive guide to the book and its academic fields. The chapter clarifies the volume’s conceptual history approach and goal; the editors and contributors approach concepts and discourses related to public health, health policy and medicine from an analytical and constructivist perspective in order to reach their various historical and political layers. Furthermore, the reader is provided with a historical overview of international and Nordic public health history, in order to properly contextualise the book’s chapters. The introductory chapter also presents central literature and positions the volume in relevant academic fields, as well as presenting the anthology’s individual chapters and their contribution.

- The traditionally strict alcohol policies of the Nordic countries have all been liberalized. This leads to an increasing policy gap in relation to the drug policies. A prognosis is made about the future of drug policy in Sweden based on the development of alcohol policy – the market will ultimately decide.

A Medical Challenge : The Alcohol Disease in Sweden 1946–1955

- The aim of this article is to analyse how alcohol misuse was constructed as a disease in Sweden from 1946 to 1955. During these years, alcohol misuse was intensely medicalised on a conceptual level, albeit not so much within the treatment sector or at the institutional level. Post-war humanism, a search for a solid ground for reformation of an unpopular system, and strong US influence were some of causes for this development. However, a medical framing without a medical cure did not manage to establish itself and the dominant problem description remained mostly social for the better part of the 20th century.

- Swedish state regulation of tobacco use came much later than the regulation of alcohol and drugs. Only in 1993 did the first more comprehensive regulatory act – the Swedish Tobacco Act – come intoforce. By examining the political prehistory of the act in 1957–1993, this article analyses the increasingly complex problem description that made the new legislation possible. The article shows that different parts of the problem description – harms to others, a connection to the public health discourse, and an increasing medicalisation – came to reinforce each other, but also that all essential componentswere in place from the outset and that research confirmed established descriptions rather than drovethe development.

Alcohol consumption as a public health problem 1885–1992

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The chapter analyses the ways in which alcohol misuse has been framed as a public health issue by examining the first and largest international alcohol conferences during the years 1885–1992. Perceived threats against the strong national state were in focus before the Second World War: the population degenerated as new generations inherited the sins of older generations; both industrial competitiveness and military strength were threatened by alcohol misuse. In line with classical public health work, structural measures were discussed as a method to fight alcohol misuse caused by, for example, poor housing, dangerous workplaces or poverty in general. The notion of the people and the nation as a social organism also formed the foundation of racial hygienic measures. The atrocities of the Second World War contributed to a general disavowing of the influential eugenics. In the post-war period, individual misusers were no longer examples of the degeneration of nations and people; but, instead, widespread use of alcohol threatened the individual (most prominently elaborated in the total consumption model). At the end of the investigated period we find strong influences from New Public Health (NPH), when measures such as competence development or lifestyle education were promoted as individualised solutions to the alcohol problem.

- Background: This article examines the political formulation and ideological solution of the Swedish drugproblem in 1982–2000. How was the drug problem described in the Swedish parliament at the time? Howserious was the problem and what solutions were proposed? What were the ideological implications ofthe problem description, and how was the general political and ideological solution formulated?Methods: The empirical basis for the textual analysis consists of parliamentary bills, government bills andparliamentary records discussing the drug issue during the years 1982–2000.Results: In the prevailing spirit of consensus in the Swedish parliament at the time, both left-wing andright-wing parties portrayed drugs as a threat to the nation, people and the welfare state. Still, as theideological dimension kept growing stronger, the drug question functioned even better as an arena forpolitical discussions and ideological positions than in the 1970s.Conclusion: Compared to previous decades, the problem description broadened during the 1980s and1990s, and the drug problem could be used to support arguments on almost any topic. The drug problembecame a highly politicized issue about whom or what to change when the individual and the societyclashed, but also about what the individual and/or society should be changed into.
