"The Sociology of Health Promotion" offers analyses of contemporary
public health policy, lifestyle, consumption, risk and health. It
also examines socio-political critiques of health promotion and
reflects upon their implications for policy and practice. Topics
include: the institutional emergence of health promotion at both
global and national levels; issues of gender and race in health
promotion; accidents and the risk of society; smoking; HIV and
AIDS; aging; and the body and health related consumption. A key
theme of the collection is that health promotion is emblematic of
wider socio-cultural changes such as the demise of institutional
forms of welfare and social control, a blurring of "expert" and lay
knowledge, a heightened collective perception of uncontainable
risks, and a shift to a consumer rather than a producer driven
economy.
