Global Health Disputes and Disparities explores inequalities in
health around the world, looking particularly at the opportunity
for, and limitations of, international law to promote population
health by examining its intersection with human rights, trade, and
epidemiology, and the controversial issues of legal process,
religion, access to care, and the social context of illness. Using
a theoretical framework rooted in international law, this volume
draws on a wide range of rich empirical data to assess the
challenges facing the field, including international legal treaty
interpretation, and specific issues related to the application of
law in resolving pressing issues in gender, access to care, and
social determinants of health. In doing so, it illustrates the
challenges for implementing rights-based approaches to address
health disparities, with profound implications for future
regulations and policymaking. It includes both interviews with
leading scholars, as well as a variety of case studies from
prominent international forums, including formal claims brought
before the Human Rights Council and the Committee on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, as well
as regional and national experiences, drawn from disputes in India,
Indonesia, South Africa and the USA. This volume is an innovative
contribution to the burgeoning fields of global health and human
rights, and will be of interest to students and researchers in
public health, global health, law and sociology interested in the
social determinants of health and social justice from both
theoretical and practical perspectives.
