Produktbeschreibung

In the light of scares about potential pandemics such as swine fever and avian flu, the issue of global health and its governance is of increasing concern to scholars and practitioners of medicine, public health, social work, and international politics alike. Providing a concise and informative introduction to how global health is governed, this book: Explores the various ways in which we understand global health governance Explains the "nuts and bolts" of the traditional institutions of global health governance, highlights key frameworks and treaties and their relative successes and failings Examines the actors in global health governance, their purpose, influence and impact Offers an in depth analysis of the effectiveness of global health interventions, focusing particularly on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Highlighting the wide variety of actors, issues and approaches involved, this work shows the complex nature of global health governance, forcing the reader to examine who or what really governs global health, to what outcome, and for whom.

Rezensionen

A masterful blend of insight, coverage and accessibility. Essential reading for anyone learning about, or working in, the rapidly evolving field of global health governance in the 21st century.

Stefan Elbe, University of Sussex, UK

This remains the clearest and most wide-ranging introduction to the field. The sections on the recent pandemic and the governance responses to it, local as well as global, are especially helpful.

Craig N. Murphy, Wellesley College, USA

Global health has only become more prominent an issue over the past dozen years, and Harman and Papamichail trace what has changed-and what has stayed the same-in an approachable and engaging style. This book is a great resource for everyone from people who are just learning about global health politics to established scholars.

Jeremy Youde, University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD), USA

Covid-19 is the most recent illustration of why better Global Health Governance is a must-read for students, faculty, and policy analysts.
