This book is a collection of essays that explore commonalities and
contrasts between strategy in armed conflict and strategy in public
health. The first part uses the asymptotic limit theorems of
information and control theories to study strategy as an exchange
of messages between adversaries, in the context of underlying power
relations. The 'messages' to be exchanged are constructed from an
'alphabet' of tactics available to each contender, in a large
sense. The second part of the book explores four case histories
from this perspective, ranging across agribusiness-generated
pandemics, through tuberculosis and COVID-19. The final chapter
attempts a strategic synthesis applicable more specifically to
public health than to the remarkably - and disturbingly -- close
parallel of armed conflict. Taking a unique approach to public
health tactics and strategy this volume will be of interest to
social epidemiologists, public health economists, public policy
scientists, as well as public health researchers and practitioners.
