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.
