To evaluate, through a case study, the extent to which elements of governance and elements of government are influential in determining the implementation or non-implementation of a drugs intervention.
Comparative analysis of the case of a drug consumption room in the UK (England) and Australia (New South Wales), including 16 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and analysis of relevant documents according to characteristic features of governance and government (power decentralisation, power centralisation, independent self-organising policy networks, use of evidence, top-down steering/directing, legislation).
Characteristic features of both governance and government are found in the data. Elements of governance are more prominent in New South Wales, Australia than in England, UK, where government prevails. Government is seen as the most important actor at play in the making, or absence, of drug consumption rooms.
Both governance and government are useful frameworks in conceptualising the policy process. The governance narrative risks overlooking the importance of traditional government structures. In the case of drug consumption rooms in the UK and Australia, a focus on government is shown to have been crucial in determining whether the intervention was implemented.
通过案例研究，评估治理要素和政府要素在决定药物干预措施实施与否方面的影响程度。
对英国（英格兰）和澳大利亚（新南威尔士）的一个药物消费室案例进行比较分析，包括对关键利益相关者进行16次半结构化访谈，并根据治理和政府的特征（权力下放、权力集中、独立的自组织政策网络、证据使用、自上而下的指导/指令、立法）对相关文件进行分析。
数据中发现了治理和政府的特征。在澳大利亚新南威尔士州，治理要素比在政府占主导的英国更为突出。政府被视为在设立或不设立药物消费室过程中发挥最重要作用的行为体。
治理和政府都是概念化政策过程的有用框架。治理叙事有忽视传统政府结构重要性的风险。在英国和澳大利亚的药物消费室案例中，关注政府对于决定干预措施是否实施至关重要。
