At the beginning of the twenty-first century, key public health
issues and challenges have taken centre stage. They range from
arsenic in drinking water to asthma among children and adults; from
the re-emergence of cholera, to increasing cancer rates and other
chronic diseases; from AIDS to malaria and hepatitis; from the
crises faced by displaced or refugee populations to the new
challenges that have emerged for reproductive health and rights.
Like most aspects of contemporary life, these problems have been
impacted by globalization. The issues that confront us are being
shaped by evolving processes such as the growth of inequalities
between the rich and the poor in countries around the world, the
globalization of trade and commerce, new patterns of travel and
migration, as well as a reduction in resources for the development
and sustainability of public health infrastructures. The Routledge
Handbook of Global Public Health explores this context and
addresses both the emerging issues and conceptualizations of the
notion of global health, along with expanding upon and highlighting
the critical priorities in this rapidly evolving field. It is
organized in ten main sections. The topics covered include: The
transition from international to global health Structural
inequalities and global public health Ecological transformation and
environmental health in the global system Population and
reproductive health Conflict, violence and emergencies in global
public health Global public health policy and practice Global
public health and development Global mental health Global access to
essential medicines Health systems, health capacity, and the
politics of global public health This comprehensive handbook will
provide an authoritative overview for students, practitioners,
researchers, and policy makers working in or concerned with public
health around the globe.
