Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the strategies used by the alcohol industry to influence the reform of the Alcohol Act in Finland during the preparation phase between 2016 and 2017. The study answers the following research question: what strategies were used by the alcohol industry to change the original purpose of the reform on alcohol in Finland? Method: Primary data were collected through 16 expert interviews with experts who had participated in the preparation of the alcohol reform in Finland, while secondary data were collected from prior literature, journal articles and Google databases. Results: The results identified three main political strategies used by the alcohol industry to influence the reform of the law on alcohol in Finland during the preparation phase between 2016 and 2017: “information”, under which the alcohol industry lobbied politicians in Parliament through Members of Parliament of the National Coalition Party due to the close ties between the two; “constituency building”, under which the alcohol industry formed alliances with interest groups in the grocery-retail business in Finland, to advocate for liberalisation of the law, as well as the use of social media – specifically Twitter – to lobby the public; and lastly, “policy substitution” to promote self-regulation. Conclusions: The results suggest that the involvement of the alcohol industry in political decision-making following Finland’s EU membership has given the industry legitimacy and new opportunities to influence alcohol policy, while limiting policies to protect the public from alcohol-related harms. The results may be useful to alcohol policy-makers.

Abstract: Land Acquisition for Development in the Public Interest in Indonesia still often causes polemic, as is still often found in various mass media. The problem in the implementation of land aquisition is because the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2012 concerning Land Aquisition for Development in the Public Interest, and the Presidential Regulation that follows it, has not rigidly stipulated the basis for determining the compensation value used to determine the compensation value. This research was conducted by making a comparison between ius constitutum and in concreto events in the field. Primary data in this study were obtained byinterviewing several sources in August 2017, which can be accounted for, while the secondary data were obtained byliterature studies. Based on the research, it is known that there is injustice in determining the value of compensation to the entitled parties. Seeing this, the author tried to describe the existing problems and provide solutions tailored to the situation and conditions in land aquisition in Indonesia. This was intended to actualize the value of social justice in the aquisition of land for development in the public interest in Indonesia.Intisari: Pengadaan Tanah bagi Pembangunan untuk Kepentingan Umum di Indonesia masih sering menimbulkan polemik, sebagaimana yang masih kerap ditemui dalam berbagai media massa. Permasalahan dalam pelaksanaan pengadaan tanah disebabkan karena Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 2 Tahun 2012 tentang Pengadaan Tanah Bagi Pembangunan Untuk Kepentingan Umum, serta Peraturan Presiden yang mengikutinya belum mengatur secara rigid tentang dasar penetapan nilai ganti kerugian yang digunakan untuk menetapkan nilai ganti kerugian. Kajian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan komparisi antara ius constitutum dengan peristiwa in concreto yang ada di lapangan. Data primer dalam kajian ini diperoleh dari hasil wawancara dari beberapa narasumber pada Agustus 2017 yang dapat dipertanggungjawabkan dan data sekunder dalam kajian ini diperoleh dari studi kepustakaan. Berdasarkan penelitian diketahui bahwa terdapat ketidakadilan dalam penetapan nilai ganti kerugian terhadap pihak-pihak yang berhak. Melihat hal tersebut penulis mencoba menguraikan permasalahan yang ada dan memberikan solusi yang disesuaikan dengan situasi dan kondisi dalam pengadaan tanah di Indonesia. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk mengaktualisasikan nilai keadilan sosial dalam pengadaan tanah bagi pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum di Indonesia

Abstract Background The alcohol industry has taken a page from the tobacco industry play book in an attempt to resist regulation through delay, self-regulation and effective lobbying. The global alcohol industry is constantly seeking to increase sales of harmful products through widespread marketing, the targeting of young people, and resisting regulatory action. Methods An assessment of the number of lobbyists engaged in one form of another to influence members of Parliament in Australia is being conducted to provide an insight into the attempts to influence alcohol policy. This follows a scan of the lobbyists' register by Daube et al in 2018 that found the while the tobacco industry had 20 direct lobbyists and 14 indirect, the junk food industry 33 direct and 13 indirect, the most dominant was the alcohol industry with 43 direct and 23 indirect. A careful re-examination of the register in 2020 is expected to reveal an increase in these numbers. There will also be an examination of the State and Territory registers in an attempt to understand the overall numbers of people specifically attempting to influence governments. Discussion This particular examination is focussed on the Australian Parliament/s. However, the message will be similar world-wide. Companies such as Diageo have a significant share of the world market with net sales, for example, being 25% of scotch, 16% of beer and 11% of vodka. Their “Drinkiq” website claims “Diageo is committed to preventing and reducing alcohol abuse around the world”. However, other business websites illustrate that their prime objective is to sell more alcohol. Presentation The presentation will focus on the importance of countering the efforts of industry in increasing availability of alcohol. It will also provide a series of steps that public health advocates can take in order to persuade governments of the importance of protecting community health through appropriate regulation of the marketing and sales of alcohol. Key messages The alcohol industry seeks to increase sales while arguing it is protecting health. Public health advocates do have the tools to counter approaches by alcohol companies.

Purpose The diffusion of social media among public administrations has significantly grown in the last years. This phenomenon has created a field of research that seeks to understand the adoption and impact of social media in the public sector. The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that make social media successful in Spanish local governments. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on an adapted version of a neo-institutional model: Enacting Electronic Government Success (EEGS). The data have been collected through three main sources: primary data from a questionnaire designed and conducted by the authors, secondary data of statistical sources, and tertiary data collected through Klout Score. Findings The results from a survey and statistical analysis provide preliminary validation of the model and show a direct relationship between organizational, institutional, and environmental factors with the successful use of social media in local public administrations. The data analysis shows that ten variables jointly explain 54.6 percent (adjusted R2=0.546) of the variability observed in the dependent variable. Research limitations/implications First, the analysis model used represents a limited sample size to carry out a complex quantitative analysis. Second, the use of Klout Scores can offer some bias. Finally, certain variables complicate the comparative potential of the study. Originality/value This study provides original primary data and contributes to the growing field of study related to social technologies in public administrations. This research also confirms in an exploratory way the validity of the EEGS model.
