Psychoactive substances take on many symbolic meanings, and thus the politics of psychoactive substances has featured symbolic elements, or value-based rationality, alongside and often dominating instrumental rationality. Drawing particularly on the work of Joseph Gusfield and Nordic scholars, the chapter considers the symbolic dimension in the politics of substance use, even in Nordic countries celebrated for their societal commitment to knowledge-based policymaking, and its effects on the interplay of science and policy.
精神活性物质具有多种象征意义,因此精神活性物质的政治呈现出象征元素,即基于价值的合理性,它与工具合理性并存,且常常占据主导地位。本章特别借鉴约瑟夫·古斯菲尔德和北欧学者的研究成果,探讨了物质使用政治中的象征维度,即使在以基于知识的政策制定的社会承诺而闻名的北欧国家也是如此,以及它对科学与政策相互作用的影响。
