  • Political Struggles on a Frontier of Harm Reduction Drug Policy: Geographies of Constrained Policy Mobility
    Political struggles on a frontier of harm reduction drug policy: Geographies of constrained policy mobility Andrew Longhurst & Eugene McCann, Simon Fraser University Longhurst, A., & McCann, E. (2016). Political struggles on a frontier of harm reduction drug policy: Geographies of constrained policy mobility. Space and Polity, 20(1), 109-123. [Reprinted in Williams, S. Warf, B. eds. (2017) Drugs, Law, People, Place and the State Ongoing regulation, resistance and change. Routledge. Ch. 8.] Acknowledgements We are grateful to those who agreed to participate in this study. Comments by Nick Blomley and Kendra Strauss greatly benefited the larger project from which this paper comes. We also thank Tom Baker and Cristina Temenos for insightful comments, as well as the two anonymous reviewers and Ronan Paddison for guidance on improving an earlier draft. We are grateful to Stewart Williams and Barney Warf for inviting us to submit to this special issue. The usual disclaimers apply. This work was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and the Association of American Geographers Urban Specialty Group. 1 Abstract This article contributes to the conceptualization of how policy models circulate by analyzing the ‘frontier politics’ that occurs when a mobile policy meets resistance and constraint. We argue that advocates of harm reduction drug policy operate within a constrained political-institutional environment, but one that is not closed or predetermined. We make the argument in reference to struggles over harm reduction drug policy in Surrey, BC, a suburban municipality in Greater Vancouver. Thus, even at frontiers, policy change may occur, even if slowly, incrementally, or cautiously.
