ABSTRACT
The Conclusion of the book summarises my findings, and sets out the true outcomes of criminalisation, discrimination, and stigmatisation of people who use drugs. Sweden’s efforts to internationally export various ‘Swedish models’ on what are constructed as unwanted social ‘nuisances’ will be discussed. Whilst calling into question the legitimacy of Sweden’s international posturing, the Conclusion also reemphasises the myopia of engaging only with Sweden’s current policies pertaining to individual communities, activities, and/or phenomena, stressing the importance of examining these in the context of Sweden’s history of modernity, social control and social engineering.
