Description
Weaponising Evidence provides a comprehensive historical analysis of how scientific evidence has shaped international tobacco control policy and law. Margherita Melillo explores the complex relationship between evidence production, legal frameworks, and public health advocacy in the global fight against tobacco.
The book traces the evolution of evidence-based regulation from early tobacco control efforts to contemporary international law. Melillo examines how governments, health organizations, and legal institutions have weaponized scientific findings to justify regulatory measures, while also considering contestations and alternative evidence narratives.
As part of the Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law series, this work contributes to broader discussions about the role of expertise in international governance. It offers insights into how evidence becomes legally binding and how it shapes the intersection of public health, international relations, and regulatory policy.
