Health and Human Rights in a Changing World is a comprehensive
and contemporary collection of readings and original material
examining health and human rights from a global perspective.
Editors Grodin, Tarantola, Annas, and Gruskin are well-known for
their previous two volumes (published by Routledge) on this
increasingly important subject to the global community. The editors
have contextualized each of the five sections with foundational
essays; each reading concludes with discussion topics, questions,
and suggested readings. This book also includes Points of View
sections originally written perspectives by important authors in
the field.
Section I is a Health and Human Rights Overview that lays out
the essential knowledge base and provides the foundation for the
following sections.
Section II brings in notions of concepts, methods, and
governance framing the application of health and human rights, in
particular the Human Rights-based Approaches to Health. Section III
sheds light on issues of heightened vulnerability and special
protection, stressing that the health and human rights record of
any nation, any community, is determined by what is being done and
not done about those who are most in need.
Section IV focuses on addressing system failures where health
and human rights issues have been documented, recognized, even at
times proclaimed as priorities, and yet insufficiently attended to
as a result of State denial, unwillingness, or incapacity.
Section V examines the relevance of the health and human rights
paradigm to a changing world, underscoring contemporary global
challenges and responses.
Finally, a Concluding Note brings together the key themes of
this set of articles and attempts to project a vision of the
future.
