One Health

Science, politics and zoonotic disease in Africa
Herausgeber: Bardosh, Kevin

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book fills this gap by offering a much needed political economy analysis of One Health research and policy. Through ethnographic, qualitative and quantitative data, the book draws together a diverse number of case studies. These include chapters exploring global narratives about One Health operationalization and prevailing institutional bottlenecks; the evolution of research networks over time; and the histories and politics behind conflicting disease control approaches. The themes from these chapters are further contextualized and expanded upon through country-specific case studies exploring the translation of One Health research and policy into the African context.
