Protecting and promoting health is inherently a political endeavor
that requires a sophisticated understanding of the distribution and
use of power. Yet while the global nature of health is widely
recognized, its political nature is less well understood. In recent
decades, the interdisciplinary field of global health politics has
emerged to demonstrate the interconnections of health and core
political topics, including foreign and security policy, trade,
economics, and development. Today a growing body of scholarship
examines how the global health landscape has both shaped and been
shaped by political actors and structures. The Oxford Handbook of
Global Health Politics provides an authoritative overview and
assessment of research on this important and complicated subject.
The volume is motivated by two arguments. First, health is not
simply a technical subject, requiring evidence-based solutions to
real-world problems, but an arena of political contestation where
norms, values, and interests also compete and collide. Second,
globalization has fundamentally changed the nature of health
politics in terms of the ideas, interests, and institutions
involved. The volume comprises more than 30 chapters by leading
experts in global health and politics. Each chaper provides an
overview of the state of the art on a given theoretical
perspective, major actor, or global health issue. The Handbook
offers both an excellent introduction to scholars new to the field
and also an invaluable teaching and research resource for experts
seeking to understand global health politics and its future
directions.
