“…New international norms concerned with reducing harms from alcohol need to be established. These norms could include using an expanding set of regional rather than global agreements, and making declarations and agreements not only in the public health sphere but also in other frames, such as human rights law (Slattery, 2021), food safety labelling (Hepworth et al, 2021), and the currently debated area of control of crossborder commercialisation of social media and other digital marketing (Room & O'Brien, 2021). Work in this topical area will necessarily involve internationally oriented legal scholarship as well as social and public health policy research.…”

From comparisons of World Health Organization statistics, it is clear that people in lower-income countries experience more harms per litre of alcohol and different types of harms compared to those from higher-income countries. Yet studies in higher-income countries dominate research on policies to prevent alcohol problems. The paper reports on results of collaborative work to map priority areas for research relevant to low- and middle-income countries. Research focus areas were identified and discussed among potential coauthors from diverse fields with relevant knowledge, with agreement reached on an initial list of seven research priority areas. Areas identified include: (1) the effects of choices (e.g., national vs. local, monopoly vs. licensing system) in organising the alcohol market; (2) involvement/separation of alcohol industry interests in decisions on public health regulation; (3) options and effectiveness of global agreements on alcohol governance; (4) choices and experience in controlling unrecorded alcohol; (5) means of decreasing harm from men’s drinking to family members; (6) strategies for reducing the effects of poverty on drinking’s role in harms; and (7) measuring and addressing key alcohol-induced low-and middle-income country (LMIC) health harms: infectious diseases, injuries, digestive diseases. Paths ahead for such research are briefly outlined.

“…Three further forthcoming papers in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs consider issues around conflict of interest and alcohol industry submissions and involvement in national and international policymaking [4–6]. Eight forthcoming papers in the European Journal of Risk Regulation are concerned with issues in the global governance of alcohol in the context of the World Health Organization and other intergovernmental organisations and agreements [1,2,7–12]. Revisions of several other papers presented at the conference are also published or forthcoming in other journals [13–17].…”
