A global view of health offers a richer understanding of ways of
measuring, improving and sustaining health both in individual
national settings and in the context of a strongly interconnected
world. This book draws on social scientific insights and
explanations to examine trends in global health. Moving beyond an
epidemiological analysis, the authors use a social determinants
framework and life course approaches to offer a critical
introduction to the study of global health. Through individual
chapters focusing on topics such as health policy, global
governance, health systems and health-related protests, the authors
present the scope of global health studies and introduce readers to
broader ranging issues such as globalization and political forces.
Key themes such as power, inequality and inequity - and their
impact on health on a global scale - recur throughout the book.
International examples and case studies are used to illustrate the
discussion, which is further supported by opportunities for
reflection and further reading. This book will be an important
resource for students studying global health and will have broad
relevance to those undertaking health, health-related and allied
health professional courses.
