Global Health Governance (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fully updated for the second edition, this text provides a concise and informative introduction to how global health is governed, exploring the ways in which we understand global health governance, exposing its complex nature, and asking who or what really governs global health, to what outcome, and for whom.

Governing outbreaks, emergencies, pandemics, access to medicines, non-communicable diseases, and the financing of fully functioning health systems remain among the biggest challenges national and international policymakers and practitioners face. While COVID-19 made apparent the tensions, contestations, and complexity of governing health threats, to understand what could and should have worked during the pandemic requires a comprehensive understanding of the actors, approaches, and issues that make up global health.

Divided into three parts, the book examines the different actors who participate in global health governance, their powers, interests, ways of working, relationships, and how their roles have changed over time. It explores different approaches to global health governance, focusing on the ways global health issues have been conceptualised and understood, and how this has shaped global health politics and the ways the key actors work. Finally, it examines different issues, and how the actors and their approaches have addressed health emergencies and everyday health inequities.

Global Health Governance provides a comprehensive introduction to researchers and students new to the field of global health governance, and a vital resource and reference point for established scholars and practitioners working in the field of global health.

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.
