Political Change and Environmental Policymaking in Mexico
This book explores environmental policymaking in Mexico as a vehicle to understanding the broader changes in the policy process within a system undergoing a democratic transformation. It constitutes the first major analysis of environmental policymaking in Mexico at the national level, and examines the implementation of forestry policy in Mexico's largest rain forest, the Selva Lacandona of the state of Chiapas.
The Politics of the Commercial Determinants of Health
Understanding the international and domestic politics of the commercial determinants of health is a new area of scholarly inquiry. Perhaps more than ever, the political science, policy, and public health community needs to better understand the complex political contexts shaping the rise and policy influence of the commercial industry, ranging from tobacco to alcohol, agribusiness, and food products. Initial efforts to address the commercial sector’s political and policy involvement emerged with the corporate political activity literature, which mainly focused on the tobacco industry’s efforts to shape noncommunicable disease (NCD) policy. Over the years, public health practitioners, nut...
Junk Food Politics
"Despite an increased government commitment in some developing countries to eradicating non-communicable diseases and introducing innovative prevention programs aimed at reducing obesity and type-2 diabetes, sugary beverage and fast food companies are thriving there. In examining this paradox, the author presents a political science explanation that emphasizes how junk food industries restructure politics and society before agenda setting for policy ever takes place"--
Nourishing millions
The stories in this book are diverse, spanning five decades and playing out in different arenas, from local to global. They take place in developing countries all over the world, and they involve many sectors and disciplines beyond nutrition itself, including health, agriculture, education, social protection, and water and sanitation. Most importantly, they paint a nuanced picture of success as a context-specific achievement that may, or may not, endure into the future.
Healthy Eating Policy and Political Philosophy
When it comes to laws and policies that deal with food--such as special taxes on sugary drinks and the banning of certain unhealthy food ingredients--critics argue that these policies can be paternalistic and can limit individual autonomy over food choices. In Healthy Eating Policy and Political Philosophy: A Public Reason Approach, Anne Barnhill and Matteo Bonotti show that both paternalistic justifications for healthy eating efforts and anti-paternalistic arguments against them can be grounded in perfectionist views that overly prioritize some values, such as autonomy and health, over other values. The authors therefore propose a more inclusive, public reason approach to healthy eating policy that will be appealing to those who take pluralism and cultural diversity seriously, by providing a framework through which different kinds of values, including but not limited to autonomy and health, can be factored into the public justification of healthy eating efforts.
Chasing Shadows
Like a John Le Carré novel updated for the digital age, Chasing Shadows provides a gripping account of how the Citizen Lab, the world’s foremost digital watchdog, has uncovered dozens of cyber espionage cases and protects people in countries around the world. Called “essential reading” by Margaret Atwood, it’s a chilling reminder of the invisible invasions happening on smartphones and computers around the world. In this real-life spy thriller, cyber security expert Ronald Deibert details the unseemly marketplace for high-tech surveillance, professional disinformation, and computerized malfeasance. He reveals how his team of digital sleuths at the Citizen Lab have lifted the lid on d...
Eye of the Whale
Eye of the Whale is a mystery novel in which migrating gray whales, those gentle giants of the Pacific, attract a highly respected university professor to a sleepy lagoon on the western shores of Mexico, a lagoon only recently saved from a massive development project. A nearly fatal attack on his daughterOs life and the search for the whereabouts of the professor leads the reader on a dangerous chase in which the hunters become the hunted when the conspiracy Ñ an insidious plot of remorseless revenge Ñ is uncovered. At times poignant, the characters portray events that are not entirely fictional. In addition to its relevance to an environmental issue of world wide interest, the story serves to alert the peoples of Mexico and the United States to a danger of which many are unaware.
Policies to protect children from the harmful impact of food marketing
Children continue to be exposed to powerful food marketing in settings where they gather (e.g. schools, sports clubs), during children’s typical television viewing times or on children’s television channels, on digital spaces popular with young people, and in magazines targeting children and adolescents. Such food marketing predominantly promotes foods that are high in saturated fatty acids, trans-fatty acids, free sugars and/or sodium (HFSS), and uses a wide variety of marketing strategies that are likely to appeal to children, including celebrity/sports endorsements, promotional characters, product claims, promotion, gifts/incentives, tie-ins, competitions and games. Food marketing has a harmful impact on children’s food choice and their dietary intake. It affects their purchase requests to adults for marketed foods and influences the development of children’s norms about food consumption. This WHO guideline provides Member States with recommendations and implementation considerations on policies to protect all children from the harmful impact of food marketing, based on evidence specific to children and to the context of food marketing.
