Abstract

The present article aims to describe and compare the ways in which policymakers represent the problem of illegal drug use in Argentina. As a strategy for measuring the frameworks with which policy makers think about the use of drugs, the qualitative analysis of content called Mark's Critical Analysis (Dombos, 2012) is retrieved. A synchronic, descriptive and exploratory case study is developed based on the empirical analysis of the normative corpus of national public policies in force in May 2014 in the country and, in a complementary way, oral sources of the policy makers involved in the problem.
