Abstract
This chapter presents different national government structures and regulative frameworks, as well as the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) international initiatives towards current and future risks of human health related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and analyzes how those structures and frameworks influence the use of antibiotics in different countries. This chapter zooms in on Denmark as an interesting case for two reasons: relatively strong regulations and governance both in the human and the veterinarian sectors and a relatively low use of antibiotics both on humans and animals.
