Health Policy in a Globalising World
Increasing recognition of the impact that globalisation may be having on public health has led to widespread concern about the risks arising from emerging and re-emerging diseases, environmental degradation and demographic change. This book argues that health policy making is being affected by globalisation and that these effects are, in turn, contributing to the kind of global health issues being faced today. The book explores how the actors, context, processes and content of health policy are changing as a result of globalisation, raising concerns about growing differences in who can influence health policy, what priorities are set, what interventions are deemed appropriate and ultimately who enjoys good and bad health. Bringing together a distinguished, international group of contributors, this book covers a comprehensive range of topics and geographic regions and will be invaluable for all those interested in health, social and public policy and globalisation.
Making Health Policy, 3e
Part of the Understanding Public Health series, this newly revised edition of Making Health Policy has been updated to cover and aid the analysis of significant political and health policy developments since the publication of the second edition in 2012. The new edition includes a greater diversity of expertise and perspectives and reflects the latest research and thinking about how to do health policy analysis, including a new focus on issues such as the role of values in health policy, policy making in response to climatic and environmental change, and the growing importance of social media in the policy process. The new edition also draws on the COVID-19 pandemic and its response to highlight key aspects of the health policy process. The book, nonetheless, maintains the strengths of earlier editions that have made it popular with students, practitioners, policy makers, and teachers of health policy through its accessible style, comprehensive nature, use of empirical case studies from low- to high-income countries and range of learning resources.

Hiv/aids : DFIDs new strategy, twelfth report of session 2007-08, Vol. 2: Oral and written Evidence
Thinking Politically about HIV
AIDS has a unique political history. As fears grew of a global pandemic on the scale of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS was briefly treated as an issue of high politics in the international arena and generated significant resources for country programmes. That initial commitment is now declining, and if AIDS is to maintain its visibility and contribution to global solidarity, human rights and dignity, its politics will have to evolve to reflect the profound geo-political, economic and social transformations underway today. This volume brings together leading scholars from a variety of disciplines who work at the intersection of politics and HIV. They reflect on the lessons learned from the ...
Making Sense of Global Health Governance
